2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G82.20Paraplegia, unspecified

AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.

• Paraparesis, Tropical Spastic

  a subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the caribbean, colombia, india, and africa, as well as in the southwestern region of japan; associated with infection by human t-cell leukemia virus i. clinical manifestations include a slowly progressive spastic weakness of the legs, increased reflexes, babinski signs, incontinence, and loss of vibratory and position sensation. on pathologic examination inflammatory, demyelination, and necrotic lesions may be found in the spinal cord. (adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1239)

• Paraplegia

  severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. this condition is most often associated with spinal cord diseases, although brain diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; and muscular diseases may also cause bilateral leg weakness.

• Spastic Paraplegia, Hereditary

  a group of inherited diseases that share similar phenotypes but are genetically diverse. different genetic loci for autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and x-linked forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia have been identified. clinically, patients present with slowly progressive distal limb weakness and lower extremity spasticity. peripheral sensory neurons may be affected in the later stages of the disease. (j neurol neurosurg psychiatry 1998 jan;64(1):61-6; curr opin neurol 1997 aug;10(4):313-8)

• Paraparesis

  mild to moderate loss of bilateral lower extremity motor function, which may be a manifestation of spinal cord diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; muscular diseases; intracranial hypertension; parasagittal brain lesions; and other conditions.

• Paraparesis, Spastic

  mild or moderate loss of motor function accompanied by spasticity in the lower extremities. this condition is a manifestation of central nervous system diseases that cause injury to the motor cortex or descending motor pathways.

• Central Nervous System Diseases

  diseases of any component of the brain (including the cerebral hemispheres, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum) or the spinal cord.

• HTLV-1 Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis|HAM/TSP|Tropical spastic paraplegia

  a progressive neurological disorder resulting in weakness or paralysis of the legs, lower back pain, and urinary symptoms. it is a sequela of infection with the htlv-1 virus.

• Paraparesis

  a slight paralysis or weakness of both legs.

• Brachial Amyotrophic Diplegia|BAD|FAS|Flail Arm Syndrome|MIBS|Man-in-barrel Syndrome

  a neurodegenerative condition characterized by asymmetric weakness in the upper extremities resulting from segmental lower motor neuron dysfunction.

• Diplegia

  paralysis affecting corresponding parts on both sides of the body.

• Diplegia of Upper Limbs|Diplegia of upper limbs

  evidence of diplegia of the upper limbs.

• Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Spastic Diplegia and Visual Defects|MRD19|Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant 19|NEDSDV

  an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutation(s) in the ctnnb1 gene, encoding catenin beta-1. it is characterized by severe intellectual disability, progressive spastic diplegia, visual impairment, and dysmorphic craniofacial features.

• Quadriplegia|Bilateral Diplegia|Bilateral Diplegia|Quadriplegia, unspecified|Tetraplegia

  paralysis of all four limbs.

• Spastic Diplegia|Little's Disease|Spastic diplegic cerebral palsy

  a type of cerebral palsy characterized by spasticity and hypertonia of the lower extremities bilaterally, particularly the legs, hips, and pelvis; this is the most common (70%) form of cerebral palsy.

Paralysis

Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of your body. It happens when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscles. Paralysis can be complete or partial. It can occur on one or both sides of your body. It can also occur in just one area, or it can be widespread.
