How do you code manifestation and underlying condition in ICD 10 cm?

For such conditions, ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code.

What is Neuromyelitis?

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), also known as Devic's disease, is a rare condition where the immune system damages the spinal cord and the nerves of the eyes (optic nerves). NMO can affect anyone at any age, but it's more common in women than men.

Is neuromyelitis optica the same as optic neuritis?

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a central nervous system disorder that primarily affects the eye nerves (optic neuritis) and the spinal cord (myelitis). NMO is also known as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder or Devic's disease.

What is neuromyelitis optica spectrum?

INTRODUCTION. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD; previously known as Devic disease or neuromyelitis optica [NMO]) are inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system characterized by severe, immune-mediated demyelination and axonal damage predominantly targeting optic nerves and the spinal cord.

Is NMOSD the same as NMO?

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating condition of the CNS with a predilection for the optic nerves and spinal cord. NMO spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a term used to encompass NMO (with both optic neuritis and myelitis)1 and limited phenotypes such as recurrent optic neuritis or myelitis.

What is the difference between MS and NMO?

In MS, individual episodes are usually mild; their cumulative effect over time may or not not cause progressive disability. In NMO, the opposite is true and therefore early diagnosis is critical; acute episodes are usually severe and – if untreated – can have devastating, irreversible effects on function.

How is neuromyelitis optica diagnosis?

Your doctor might be able to detect lesions or damaged areas in your brain, optic nerves or spinal cord. Blood tests. Your doctor might test your blood for the autoantibody NMO -IgG, which helps doctors distinguish NMO from MS and other neurological conditions. This test helps doctors make an early diagnosis of NMO .

What does Devic mean?

General Discussion. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), also known as Devic disease, is a chronic disorder of the brain and spinal cord dominated by inflammation of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) and inflammation of the spinal cord (myelitis).

What autoimmune causes optic neuritis?

The following autoimmune conditions often are associated with optic neuritis:Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which your autoimmune system attacks the myelin sheath covering nerve fibers in your brain. ... Neuromyelitis optica. ... Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disorder.

What is neuromyelitis optica seronegative?

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune, demyelinating, inflammatory disorder affecting the central nervous system, mostly targeting optic nerves and the spinal cord.

Is optic neuromyelitis an autoimmune disease?

What is neuromyelitis optica? Neuromyelitis optica, also called NMO or Devic's disease, is a rare yet severe demyelinating autoimmune inflammatory process affecting the central nervous system. It specifically affects the myelin, which is the insulation around the nerves.

Is NMOSD a neurodegenerative disease?

In neuro-ophthalmology, OCT is considered a “window” to the CNS, and is widely used to study neurodegenerative diseases such as MS, NMOSD, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease (10, 22, 23).

How is Devic's disease diagnosed?

Diagnosis and Tests Testing for Devic's disease may include MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans to show inflammation of the spinal cord. MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce images. In a person with Devic's disease, the MRI scan may show inflammation in a long segment of the spinal cord.

The ICD code G360 is used to code Neuromyelitis optica

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), also known as Devic's disease or Devic's syndrome, is a heterogeneous condition consisting of the simultaneous inflammation and demyelination of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) and the spinal cord (myelitis). It can be monophasic or recurrent.
