Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis is a condition in which either the right or left side of the diaphragm loses the ability to contract to allow proper inspiration. This can result from muscular issues in the diaphragm or loss of innervation from the phrenic nerve to the hemidiaphragm.
Phrenic nerve paralysis due to birth injury P14. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM P14. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Phrenic nerve paralysis is a common cause of elevation of one side of the diaphragm. It may be due to a variety of problems, including primary lung cancer, malignant mediastinal tumors, and surgery of the mediastinum. It may even be idiopathic.
There are several known causes that can lead to diaphragm paralysis: Birth defects such as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. Diseases of the nervous system, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis. Injury, such as an upper cervical spinal cord injury that has spared the phrenic ...
The phrenic nerve must be identified in cervical and thoracic surgical dissection to preserve the neuromuscular pathways. Superior to the clavicle, the phrenic nerve can be located in the posterior triangle of the neck, superficial to the anterior scalene.
[1] Elevated hemidiaphragm occurs when one side of the diaphragm becomes weak from muscular disease or loss of innervation due to phrenic nerve injury. Patients may present with difficulty breathing, but more commonly elevated hemidiaphragm is found on imaging as an incidental finding, and patients are asymptomatic.
Temporary elevation of the diaphragm occurs in pneumonia, lung abscess, subphrenic abscess, liver abscess, diabetes, Banti's disease, during digestion, and normally at full expiration.
The elevation of a hemidiaphragm is a significant sign of a problem. That problem may lie below, within or above the diaphragm: Below the diaphragm -- In the abdomen there may be a cyst, an infection or abscess (filled with pus), hematoma (collection of blood), a tumor, or abdominal surgery.
Computed tomography scanning of the chest, abdomen or both. Magnetic resonance imaging to determine if there is an underlying condition involving the spinal column or nerve roots. Ultrasound to see the activity of the diaphragm and to identify any unusual movement or lack of movement.
Damage to a phrenic nerve can lead to a paralyzed diaphragm. You may experience shortness of breath and sleep problems. People who have severe damage to their phrenic nerve may need a mechanical ventilator to breathe.
Treatment Options It does not help the diaphragm work; it just gets it out of the way. In severe cases of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, patients may need to be placed permanently on ventilator support which can include treatment with a portable ventilator.
Other specified mononeuropathiesICD-10 code G58. 8 for Other specified mononeuropathies is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
From its origin in the neck, the nerve travels downward into the chest to pass between the heart and lungs towards the diaphragm. The phrenic nerve as it passes through the thorax to supply the diaphragm.
Saturday night palsy refers to a compressive neuropathy of the radial nerve that occurs from prolonged, direct pressure onto the upper medial arm or axilla by an object or surface. The radial nerve is composed of the C5 to T1 nerve roots, which arise from the posterior segment of the brachial nerve plexus.
2: Neuralgia and neuritis, unspecified.
Bilateral paralytic syndrome as late effect of stroke. Muscle contracture of bilateral gastrocnemius due to paralysis. Muscle contracture of left gastrocnemius due to paralysis. Muscle contracture of right gastrocnemius due to paralysis. Muscle weakness.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G83.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 519.4 was previously used, J98.6 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
