The differential diagnoses for sudden bilateral paraplegia include thoracolumbar spine trauma that compromises the innervation of the lower extremities, either due to vertebral fracture or compression from a displaced intervertebral disk; neoplasia, either of the spinal cord or adjacent tissues that exerts a mechanical ...
What Are the Four Types of Paralysis?Monoplegia.Hemiplegia.Paraplegia.Quadriplegia/tetraplegia.
Complete paralysis is when you can't move or control your paralyzed muscles at all. You also may not be able to feel anything in those muscles. Partial or incomplete paralysis is when you still have some feeling in, and possibly control over, your paralyzed muscles. This is sometimes called paresis.
Complete paraplegia occurs when the damage to the spinal cord is severe enough to completely cut off all connections between the brain and areas below the level of injury. Individuals with complete paraplegia will have no motor control or feeling below their level of injury.

Paralysis is a problem moving the body due to disease or injury to the nervous system. There are two types: Paraplegia—full or partial paralysis of the lower half of the body. Quadriplegia, sometimes called tetraplegia—paralysis of both legs and both arms.
Paraparesis is the partial paralysis of both legs due to disrupted nerve signals from the brain to the muscles. Paraparesis can be caused by genetic factors and viral infections.
What causes paraplegia? Paraplegia is normally caused by injury to your spinal cord or brain that stops signals from reaching your lower body. When your brain cannot send signals to your lower body, it results in paralysis. Many injuries that cause paraplegia are the result of accidents.
Paresis describes weakness or partial paralysis. In contrast, both paralysis and the suffix -plegia refer to no movement.
Paresis involves the weakening of a muscle or group of muscles. It may also be referred to as partial or mild paralysis. Unlike paralysis, people with paresis can still move their muscles. These movements are just weaker than normal.

ICD Code G82.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of G82.2 that describes the diagnosis 'paraplegia' in more detail. G82.2 Paraplegia. NON-BILLABLE. BILLABLE.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code G82.2 is a non-billable code.
Rationale: The complete paraplegia is a sequela of the burst fracture of the T3 vertebral fracture and resulting spinal cord injury.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
