Other disorders of peripheral nervous system (G64)

The ICD-10 code G64 covers a variety of other disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are not classified elsewhere. This code is used to document conditions involving damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.

This category includes disorders such as neurological dysfunction caused by obstetric fistula, infections of peripheral nerves from bacterial, viral, or parasitic sources, and acquired demyelinating disorders. It also encompasses conditions like EMILIN-1-related connective tissue disease and dystonia linked to peripheral nerve problems. Additionally, G64 accounts for skin conditions that result from nerve damage, including dermatoses secondary to nerve disorders and neurotrophic skin damage. Cases involving peripheral nerve complications from hernia repair or co-occurring with HIV infection are also classified under this code. By using the ICD-10 code for other disorders of the peripheral nervous system (G64), healthcare providers can accurately record a broad range of peripheral nerve diseases that do not fit into more specific diagnostic categories.
