About the G80–G83 Code Range
ICD-10 codes G80-G83 classify cerebral palsy and various paralytic syndromes, specifying different types of motor impairments caused by brain or spinal cord conditions. These codes help identify the nature, distribution, and severity of paralysis or spasticity for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
The G80 category covers cerebral palsy subtypes such as spastic quadriplegic (G80.0), diplegic (G80.1), hemiplegic (G80.2), athetoid (G80.3), and ataxic cerebral palsy (G80.4). Synonyms like spastic tetraplegia or dyskinetic cerebral palsy relate directly to these codes, assisting coders in linking clinical terms like "spastic paralysis due to birth injury" or "infantile hypotonia" with precise classifications. Codes from G81 to G83 address non-cerebral palsy paralysis syndromes, including hemiplegia (G81), paraplegia and quadriplegia (G82), and other paralytic syndromes (G83). These include distinctions between flaccid and spastic hemiplegia, as well as conditions like monoplegia and cauda equina syndrome. Using synonyms such as "tetraplegia," "monoparesis," or "Brown-Séquard syndrome" can clarify coding choices. Overall, this ICD-10 range is essential for coding diverse paralysis-related disorders affecting limbs and the body’s motor function.
