Other and unspecified diseases of spinal cord (G95) ICD-10-CM
The G95 code range covers other and unspecified diseases of spinal cord with 12 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 8 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Spinal Cord Diseases
Pathologic conditions which feature SPINAL CORD damage or dysfunction, including disorders involving the meninges and perimeningeal spaces surrounding the spinal cord. Traumatic injuries, vascular diseases, infections, and inflammatory/autoimmune processes may affect the spinal cord.
Syringomyelia
Longitudinal cavities in the spinal cord, most often in the cervical region, which may extend for multiple spinal levels. The cavities are lined by dense, gliogenous tissue and may be associated with SPINAL CORD NEOPLASMS; spinal cord traumatic injuries; and vascular malformations. Syringomyelia is marked clinically by pain and PARESTHESIA, muscular atrophy of the hands, and analgesia with thermoanesthesia of the hands and arms, but with the tactile sense preserved (sensory dissociation). Lower extremity spasticity and incontinence may also develop. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1269)
About the G95 Code Range
These conditions affect the spinal cord. The subdivisions distinguish named conditions, blood-vessel disorders, cord compression, other specified diseases, and disease left unspecified.
G95.1 separates an acute spinal cord condition from other blood-vessel disorders. G95.2 separates other cord compression from compression left unspecified. G95.8 includes a named syndrome and other specified spinal cord diseases. G95.9 identifies spinal cord disease left unspecified.
