Athetoid cerebral palsy. G80.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM G80.3 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G80.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 G80.3 may differ.
ICD-10-CM Code G80.3 Athetoid cerebral palsy. G80.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of athetoid cerebral palsy. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Athetoid or Dyskinetic (also referred to as dystonic) cerebral palsy is characterized by unintentional or uncontrolled movements due to continually changing muscle tone. This kind of cerebral palsy affects 10 to 20% of sufferers. People with Athetoid cerebral palsy usually exhibit movements that look slow and are sometimes circular in nature.
Additionally, the following two classifications are also used to determine levels of disability in regard to cerebral palsy. While there are many ways to classify cerebral palsy, in the broadest sense, there are really four major types: spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed.
The ICD-10 Code for cerebral palsy is G80. 9.
ICD-10 code G80. 1 for Spastic diplegic cerebral palsy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Encounter for other specified aftercareICD-10 code Z51. 89 for Encounter for other specified aftercare is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common.
Spastic diplegia (or diparesis) is a subtype of spastic cerebral palsy in which the legs are the most affected limbs. People with spastic diplegia often have a “scissor walk,” characterized by the knees turning inward/crossing. This is due to tightness in the hip and leg muscles.

ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
This second example uses Z09, which indicates surveillance following completed treatment of a disease, condition, or injury. Its use implies that the condition has been fully treated and no longer exists. Z09 would be used for all annual follow-up exams, provided no complications or symptoms are present.
For example, if a patient with severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip, underwent hip replacement and the current encounter/admission is for rehabilitation, report code Z47. 1, Aftercare following joint replacement surgery, as the first-listed or principal diagnosis.
Dyskinetic CP (also called athetoid CP) is one type of cerebral palsy. Kids with dyskinetic (diss-kih-NET-ik) CP have trouble controlling muscle movement. They have twisting, abrupt movements. Other types of cerebral palsy can lead to stiff muscles (spastic CP) or problems with balance and walking (ataxic CP).

There are five different types of cerebral palsy – spastic, ataxic, athetoid, hypotonic, and mixed type cerebral palsy. Each type is classified by a unique set of cerebral palsy symptoms.
Early signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before 3 years of age. Babies with cerebral palsy are often slow to roll over, sit, crawl, smile, or walk.
The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see muscle spasticity) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms.
Some babies are born with cerebral palsy; others get it after they are born. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatment can improve the lives of those who have it. Treatment includes medicines, braces, and physical, occupational and speech therapy.
The disorders appear in the first few years of life. Usually they do not get worse over time. People with cerebral palsy may have difficulty walking.
G80.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of athetoid cerebral palsy. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Athetoid cerebral palsy or dyskinetic cerebral palsy (sometimes abbreviated ADCP) is a type of cerebral palsy primarily associated with damage, like other forms of CP, to the basal ganglia in the form of lesions that occur during brain development due to bilirubin encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Unlike spastic or ataxic cerebral palsies, ADCP is characterized by both hypertonia and hypotonia, due to the affected individual's inability to control muscle tone. Clinical diagnosis of ADCP typically occurs within 18 months of birth and is primarily based upon motor function and neuroimaging techniques. While there are no cures for ADCP, some drug therapies as well as speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy have shown capacity for treating the symptoms.
Specialty: Neurology. MeSH Code: D002547. ICD 9 Code: 343.
Clinical diagnosis of ADCP typically occurs within 18 months of birth and is primarily based upon motor function and neuroimaging techniques.
Monoplegia / Monoparesis. Refers to a type of cerebral palsy in which only one limb is paralyzed (monoplegia) or weakened (monoparesis). Monoplegia typically affects an extremity such as the hand and foot, making it difficult to perform tasks which need the use of both limbs. Read more about monoplegic cerebral palsy.
While there are many ways to classify cerebral palsy, in the broadest sense, there are really four major types: spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed.
Diplegia / Diparesis. Refers to a type of cerebral palsy that affects symmetrically-opposed parts of the body, and usually affects the legs more-severely than the arms. Typically, a lack of oxygen during brain formation causes a development failure in the pyramidal tracts.
People with Athetoid cerebral palsy usually exhibit movements that look slow and are sometimes circular in nature. These movements usually affect all four limbs and sometimes the face or tongue. Interestingly, people with athetoid or dyskinetic cerebral palsy often have above average intelligence.
Ataxic cerebral palsy is a relatively rare form of the disorder, and stems from damage to the cerebellum. Only about 5 to 10 percent of people with CP are classified as ataxic.
Refers to a type of cerebral palsy in which one side of the body is weakened (hemiparesis) or paralyzed (hemiplegia) more-so more than the other side. In children with hemiplegia, the paralysis in the body occurs on the side opposite the affected part of the brain. For example, if the left side of the child’s brain is injured, then the paralysis will be on the right side of the child’s body.
The brain of a person with spastic cerebral palsy can’t appropriately tell the muscle how much flexibility to have, so the muscle dominates the signals sent to the spinal cord and the muscles remain tense (or spastic). Read more about spastic cerebral palsy.
