Cerebellar degeneration is a disorder that affects nerves in the back of your brain. It can lead to balance issues or difficulty with speech and eyesight. Cerebellar degeneration can be the result of several health conditions, such as alcoholism or cancer.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G31. 1: Senile degeneration of brain, not elsewhere classified.
Cerebellum and brainstem Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. It may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements.
Cerebellum. The cerebellum (“little brain”) is a fist-sized portion of the brain located at the back of the head, below the temporal and occipital lobes and above the brainstem. Like the cerebral cortex, it has two hemispheres. The outer portion contains neurons, and the inner area communicates with the cerebral cortex ...
Cerebellar dysfunction causes balance problems and gait disorders along with difficulties in coordination resulting in ataxia, uncoordinated movements, imbalance, speech problems(dysarthria), visual problems (nystagmus) and vertigo as a part of the vestibulocerebellar system.
1 for Senile degeneration of brain, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Definition. Cerebral atrophy is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain. Atrophy of any tissue means loss of cells. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neurons and the connections between them.
Senile also known as Senile dementia is the mental deterioration (loss of intellectual ability) that is associated with or the characteristics of old age.
81 for Cerebellar ataxia in diseases classified elsewhere is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Other symptoms may include slow, unsteady and jerky movement of the arms or legs, slowed and slurred speech, and nystagmus -- rapid, small movements of the eyes. There is no cure for hereditary forms of cerebellar degeneration. Treatment is usually supportive and is based on the person's symptoms.
Your cerebellum is the part of your brain that's in charge of balance and coordination. If part of your cerebellum starts to wear away, you can develop cerebellar ataxia. Sometimes it can also affect your spinal cord. It's the most common form of ataxia.
Cerebellar degeneration can be caused by a variety of factors including inherited gene changes , chronic alcohol abuse, and paraneoplastic disorders.
Prognosis. The long-term prospect for patients with cerebellar degeneration differs according to the underlying cause of the disease. Each inherited or acquired disease that results in cerebellar degeneration has its own specific prognosis, however most are generally poor, progressive and often fatal.
There is no cure for hereditary forms of cerebellar degeneration. Treatment is usually supportive and is based on the person's symptoms. For example, drugs may be prescribed to ease gait abnormalities. Physical therapy can strengthen muscles.
Cerebellar disease can result from a number of underlying conditions, many of which are listed in Box 91-1. The most prevalent causes of acute cerebellar ataxia are viruses (e.g., coxsackievirus, rubeola, varicella), traumatic insults, and toxins (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, antiepileptic drugs) (see Chapter 92).
Hereditary and sporadic conditions which are characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction. These disorders are often associated with atrophy of the affected central or peripheral nervous system structures. Neurologic disorders characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction and loss of neural tissue.
Degenerative brain disorder. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Clinical Information. A disorder of the central nervous system characterized by gradual and progressive loss of neural tissue and neurologic function.
Valid for Submission. G31.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of degenerative disease of nervous system, unspecified. The code G31.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Sometimes the cause is a medical condition such as alcoholism, a tumor, or a stroke. Other causes may include toxins, chemicals, and viruses.
Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.
