Other mononeuropathies (G58)
ICD-10 code G58 covers other mononeuropathies, a group of nerve disorders affecting single nerves outside of the common types. These codes are used for diagnosing specific nerve conditions that do not fall under other neuropathy classifications.
The G58 section includes codes such as G58.0 for intercostal neuropathy, which involves nerve pain or damage around the ribs, often known as intercostal neuralgia or postinfectious neuralgia. G58.7 represents mononeuritis multiplex, characterized by damage to multiple separate nerves often linked to conditions like vasculitis or diabetes, with synonyms like vasculitic mononeuritis multiplex or diabetic mononeuropathy aiding diagnosis. G58.8 encompasses other specified mononeuropathies, including rare or complex nerve disorders such as phrenic nerve disorders, pudendal neuralgia, or ischemic peripheral neuropathy. Lastly, G58.9 is used for unspecified mononeuropathies when the exact nerve condition is unclear but involves nerve thickening, entrapment, or palsy. Understanding these codes ensures accurate classification of various mononeuropathies for medical coding and clinical treatment.
Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Diabetic Neuropathies
Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1325)
Mononeuropathies
Disease or trauma involving a single peripheral nerve in isolation, or out of proportion to evidence of diffuse peripheral nerve dysfunction. Mononeuropathy multiplex refers to a condition characterized by multiple isolated nerve injuries. Mononeuropathies may result from a wide variety of causes, including ISCHEMIA; traumatic injury; compression; CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASES; CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS; and other conditions.
Pudendal Neuralgia
Pain associated with a damaged PUDENDAL NERVE. Clinical features may include positional pain with sitting in the perineal and genital areas, sexual dysfunction and FECAL INCONTINENCE and URINARY INCONTINENCE.
