Common causes of myelopathy are degenerative spinal conditions, such as spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the bony passageways of the spine through which the spinal cord and nerve roots travel. Central disc herniations can also result in compression on the spinal cord, leading to the development of myelopathy.

There is no distinction made in ICD-10-CM for central canal stenosis vs foraminal stenosis. Therefore, the M48. 0- code covers both/all types of spinal stenosis.May 3, 2018
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower part of your back. Stenosis, which means narrowing, can cause pressure on your spinal cord or the nerves that go from your spinal cord to your muscles. Spinal stenosis can happen in any part of your spine but is most common in the lower back.
M48.061Spinal stenosis, lumbar region without neurogenic claudication. M48. 061 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Neurogenic claudication is usually caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) in the lumbar spine (lower back). The narrowing of the spinal canal is generally caused by wear and tear and arthritic changes in the lower spine.
Is neurogenic claudication the same as sciatica? Even though both conditions are caused by pressure on the nerves, the difference is in the way people describe their condition, thus creating difficulties in diagnosis.Nov 14, 2018

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle ...
