Overview. Pseudotumor cerebri (SOO-doe-too-mur SER-uh-bry) occurs when the pressure inside your skull (intracranial pressure) increases for no obvious reason. It's also called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor.
909 – Migraine, Unspecified, not Intractable, without Status Migrainosus.
Papilledema and pseudotumor cerebri are conditions related to pressure inside your skull which can cause swelling in your optic nerve. Specifically, pseudotumor cerebri causes increased intracranial pressure, which can lead to papilloedema — swelling of your optic nerve.
Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor." It is likely due to high pressure within the skull caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The disorder is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50.
Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome is usually diagnosed by eye examinations, brain scans, and lumbar puncture (spinal tap). In an individual with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome, an eye examination will almost always show swelling of the optic nerves (papilledema) resulting from high pressure in the brain.

Status migrainosus, or intractable migraine, is a persistent, debilitating migraine without aura that significantly affects a person's ability to function. Even when affected individuals take steps to control triggers and make deliberate lifestyle changes, it still has a major impact on their quality of life.
Intractable migraine, also referred to as status migraine or status migrainosus, is a severe migraine that has continued for greater than 72 hours and has been refractory to usual therapies for migraine.
Pseudotumor Cerebri Symptoms The most common are headaches and blurred vision. Other symptoms may include: Vision changes (like double vision) or vision loss. Dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting.
In the absence of papilloedema, a diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome can be made if B–E from above are satisfied, and in addition the patient has a unilateral or bilateral abducens nerve palsy.
Intracranial Hypertension (IH) is characterized by increased pressure inside the skull. Intracranial means inside the skull and hypertension means high fluid pressure. Intracranial hypertension means that the pressure of the fluid that surrounds the brain (cerebrospinal fluid or CSF) is too high.
A common, severe type of vascular headache often associated with increased sympathetic activity, resulting in nausea, vomiting, and light sensitivity. If you suffer from migraine headaches, you're not alone. About 12 percent of the United States Population gets them.
Neural condition characterized by a severe recurrent vascular headache, usually on one side of the head, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and photophobia, sometimes preceded by sensory disturbances; triggers include allergic reactions, excess carbohydrates or iodine in the diet, alcohol, bright lights or loud noises.
A class of disabling primary headache disorders, characterized by recurrent unilateral pulsatile headaches. The two major subtypes are common migraine (without aura) and classic migraine (with aura or neurological symptoms). (international classification of headache disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)
Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision.

Now they believe the cause is related to genes that control the activity of some brain cells. Medicines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen.
Chronic migraine does not have a direct entry in ICD-10 manual index. It should be coded as G43.709 (migraine, without aura, chronic)
Note: Coded G43.709 (chronic migraine without aura) though not mentioned as with or without aura as there is no specific index entry for migraine chronic directly.
Migraine occurs in 4 stages (though not all stages in everyone) – Prodrome, aura, attack, post-drome. Knowing the stages is important in assigning a case specific ICD code.
Sometimes severity of the pain can be very severe and can last for more than 2 days.
The type of pain can be throbbing at one side of the head associated with light sensitivity and nausea, vomiting.
Symptoms include, black dots, flashes of light, hallucination, unable to speak clearly, weakness or numbness on face or one side of the body, difficulty in talking.
Note: Coder should assign “with aura” only if physician diagnosed the same.
