Spigelian Spigelian hernias are rare and occur along the edge of the rectus abdominus muscle through the spigelian fascia. In ICD-10-CM, spiglian hernias are coded to K43.6 Other and unspecified ventral hernia with obstruction, without gangrene or K43.7 Other and unspecified ventral hernia with gangrene, depending on whether gangrene is present.

Midline shift refers to a shift (displacement) of brain tissue across the centre line of the brain. It may occur following traumatic brain injury in association with raised intracranial pressure or an intracranial haematoma which can push the brain towards one side causing midline shift.
Loss of consciousness, coma. Loss of all brainstem reflexes (blinking, gagging, and pupils reacting to light) Respiratory arrest (no breathing) Wide (dilated) pupils and no movement in one or both eyes.

Subfalcine hernia, also known as midline shift or cingulate hernia, is the most common type of cerebral hernia. It is generally caused by unilateral frontal, parietal, or temporal lobe disease that creates a mass effect with medial direction, pushing the ipsilateral cingulate gyrus down and under the falx cerebri.
Uncal herniation occurs when rising intracranial pressure causes portions of the brain to move from one intracranial compartment to another. It is a life-threatening neurological emergency and indicates the failure of all adaptive mechanisms for intracranial compliance.
Tonsillar herniation is the movement of brain tissue from one intracranial compartment to another, specifically the movement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. This is a life-threatening and time-critical pathology that may be reversible with emergent surgical intervention and medical management.
Encephalomalacia is the softening or loss of brain tissue after cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. The term is usually used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue after infarction.

Femoral hernias are normally confined to a tight space, and sometimes they become large enough to allow abdominal contents (usually intestine) to protrude into the canal. They cause a bulge just below the inguinal crease in roughly the mid-thigh area, and usually occur in women. ICD-10-CM coding example:
A diaphragmatic hernia is a rare birth defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm. This type of hernia occurs while the baby is developing in the womb, and prevents the lungs from growing normally. ICD-10-CM coding example: A 17-year-old female presents with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
By Rhonda Buckholtz#N#Hernias occur when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Hernias may not produce symptoms, or they may cause slight to severe pain. Nearly all have the potential of becoming strangulated.#N#Strangulation occurs when the contents of the hernia bulge out and apply enough pressure that blood vessels in the hernia are constricted, cutting off blood supply. If the blood supply is cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, it becomes a medical and surgical emergency.#N#Identify Hernia Type#N#There are several different types of hernias. The ability to identify the various types of hernias is critical to appropriate diagnosis coding in ICD-10-CM.#N#Inguinal#N#Inguinal (groin) hernias make up approximately 75 percent of all abdominal wall hernias, and occur up to 25 times more often in men than in women. There are two different types of inguinal hernias: direct and indirect.#N#Both types occur in the groin area where the skin of the thigh joins the torso (the inguinal crease), but they have slightly different origins.
The femoral hernia was repaired by suturing the iliopubic tract to Cooper’s ligament. K41.90 Unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent. Umbilical. Umbilical hernias are common and make up approximately 10 to 30 percent of hernia cases.
Q43.0 Meckel’s diverticulum. Incisional. An incisional hernia can occur: When abdominal surgery causes a flaw in the abdominal wall, creating an area of weakness through which a hernia may develop. Following 2-10 percent of all abdominal surgeries.
There are two different types of inguinal hernias: direct and indirect. Both types occur in the groin area where the skin of the thigh joins the torso (the inguinal crease), but they have slightly different origins. Indirect inguinal hernia (indirect hernia):
Hernias may not produce symptoms, or they may cause slight to severe pain. Nearly all have the potential of becoming strangulated. Strangulation occurs when the contents of the hernia bulge out and apply enough pressure that blood vessels in the hernia are constricted, cutting off blood supply.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
Valid for Submission. G93.5 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of compression of brain. The code G93.5 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
In subfalcine herniation, the degree of midline shift correlates with the prognosis; less than 5 mm deviation has a good prognosis, whereas a shift of more than 15 mm is related to a poor outcome 4 .
The easiest method of evaluating for subfalcine shift is a straight line drawn in the axial plane, at the level of the foramen of Monro, and measuring the distance between this line and the displaced septum pellucidum. The shift of the septum pellucidum from this midline can be measured in millimeters and compared over time to determine any change.
Subfalcine herniation. Subfalcine herniation, also known as midline shift or cingulate hernia, is the most common cerebral herniation pattern.
Subfalcine hernias occur anteriorly, as the anterior falx (although rigid) is displaced, secondary to mass effect. The posterior falx, on the other hand, is more rigid and will resist the displacement.

The ICD code G935 is used to code Brain herniation. Brain herniation is a potentially deadly side effect of very high pressure within the skull that occurs when a part of the brain is squeezed across structures within the skull.
Herniation can be caused by a number of factors that cause a mass effect and increase intracranial pressure (ICP): these include traumatic brain injury, intracranial hemorrhage, or brain tumor. Specialty: Neurology. ICD 9 Code: 348.4. MRI showing injury due to brain herniation. Source: Wikipedia.
The brain can shift across such structures as the falx cerebri, the tentorium cerebelli, and even through the foramen magnum (the hole in the base of the skull through which the spinal cord connects with the brain).
