Secondary brain cancer is cancer that starts somewhere else in the body and spreads to the brain. It may also be called brain metastases or secondary brain tumour. It is a type of advanced cancer. Some types of primary cancer are more likely to spread to the brain.

The ICD code D32 is used to code Meningioma. Meningiomas are a diverse set of tumors arising from the meninges, the membranous layers surrounding the central nervous system. They arise from the arachnoid "cap" cells of the arachnoid villi in the meninges. These tumors usually are benign in nature; however, a small percentage are malignant.
These tumors usually are benign in nature; however, a small percentage are malignant. Many meningiomas produce no symptoms throughout a person's life, and if discovered, require no treatment other than periodic observation. Typically, symptomatic meningiomas are treated with either radiosurgery or conventional surgery.
Conditions that cause cerebral edema include traumatic brain injuries, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, brain tumors, infection, altitude sickness, electrolyte derangements, and toxins. However, the development of cerebral edema isn’t invariable; for instance, not all brain tumors have surrounding vasogenic edema.
The coder is not permitted to code exclusively from a radiology report.
Have cerebral edema be woven into the notes repeatedly, not just once in a single note. They should link the treatment and monitoring with the condition (e.g., “will start on Decadron for the cerebral edema and get repeat MRI in two weeks.”). It should also be present in the discharge summary.
If there is any loss of consciousness, in addition to those two diagnoses, there are 337 traumatic conditions, which exclude traumatic cerebral edema as a MCC. These conditions include facial and skull fractures and other types of injuries, traumatic brain injuries and hemorrhages, suicide attempts, and traumatic compartment syndromes.
It often magnifies or complicates the clinical features of the primary underlying condition. The only Excludes 1 instructions are that a patient can’t have non- traumatic and traumatic cerebral edema concomitantly.
It is easier to fix it on the front end than to rework it on the basis of a clinical validation denial. Cerebral edema is a legitimate, valid, important diagnosis. Get it documented in a codable format and code it.
