Clinical Information
- Dysarthria-. disorders of speech articulation caused by imperfect coordination of pharynx, larynx, tongue, or face muscles. this may result from cranial nerve diseases; neuromuscular diseases; cerebellar diseases; basal ganglia diseases; brain stem diseases; or diseases of the corticobulbar tracts (see pyramidal tracts). the cortical language centers are intact in this condition. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p489)
- Pseudobulbar Palsy-. a syndrome characterized by dysarthria, dysphagia, dysphonia, impairment of voluntary movements of tongue and facial muscles, and emotional lability. this condition is caused by diseases that affect the motor fibers that travel from the cerebral cortex to the lower brain stem (i.e., corticobulbar tracts); including multiple sclerosis; motor neuron disease; and cerebrovascular disorders. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p489)
- Dysarthria-. slow and slurred speech resulting from inability to coordinate the muscles that are used in speech. causes include brain damage, parkinson disease, and developmental causes.
- Dysarthria, CTCAE|Dysarthria|Dysarthria-. a disorder characterized by slow and slurred speech resulting from an inability to coordinate the muscles used in speech.
- Grade 1 Dysarthria, CTCAE|Grade 1 Dysarthria-. mild slurred speech
- Grade 2 Dysarthria, CTCAE|Grade 2 Dysarthria-. moderate impairment of articulation or slurred speech
- Grade 3 Dysarthria, CTCAE|Grade 3 Dysarthria-. severe impairment of articulation or slurred speech

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to this diagnosis code:
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- dysarthria following cerebrovascular disease (I69. with final characters -22)

Patient Education
Speech and Communication Disorders
Many disorders can affect our ability to speak and communicate. They range from saying sounds incorrectly to being completely unable to speak or understand speech. Causes include:
- Hearing disorders and deafness
- Voice problems, such as dysphonia or those caused by cleft lip or palate
- Speech problems like stuttering
- Developmental disabilities
- Learning disabilities
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Brain injury
- Stroke
Some speech and communication problems may be genetic. Often, no one knows the causes. By first grade, about 5% of children have noticeable speech disorders. Speech and language therapy can help.
