Definition. Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal is too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause damage to the spinal cord, a condition called myelopathy, or pinch nerves as they exit the spinal canal (radiculopathy).
ICD-9 Code Transition: 723.1 Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
What Causes Cervical Spinal Stenosis? A common cause of cervical spinal stenosis is degeneration, or wear and tear affecting the anatomical structures in your neck due to aging. That's why most people who have cervical spinal stenosis are adults in their 50s and 60s who may have had neck pain for several years.
Unlike quadriplegia — which is a full paralysis or inability to move all four limbs — quadriparesis is characterized by overall weakness in your arms and legs, but you can still feel and move your limbs. Quadriparesis can be caused by illness or injury.
A complete spinal cord injury causes permanent damage to the area of the spinal cord that is affected. Paraplegia or tetraplegia are results of complete spinal cord injuries. An incomplete spinal cord injury refers to partial damage to the spinal cord.
Paraparesis occurs when you're partially unable to move your legs. The condition can also refer to weakness in your hips and legs. Paraparesis is different from paraplegia, which refers to a complete inability to move your legs.
Cervical spine fractures are reported with codes from category S12, Fracture of the cervical vertebra and other parts of the neck. There are specific codes for the more common types of fractures of each cervical vertebra. In order to assign the most specific codes at each level, the following information is required: C1 vertebra.
If the type of vertebral fracture is not specified, an “unspecified” code is assigned. The two specific codes are for traumatic spondylolisthesis, Type III, and other traumatic spondylolisthesis. An exception is traumatic fractures of the C1 and C 2 vertebrae. Due to the different bony configurations of these two vertebrae, different types of fractures may occur at these levels.
Codes for dislocation and sprains of the joints and ligaments of the neck are found in category S13. This category includes specific codes for traumatic rupture of the disc (S13.0-), subluxation, and dislocation at each interspace (S13.1-), plus sprain of ligaments such as the anterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine (S13.4-).
Traumatic spondylolisthesis refers to a slippage or displacement of the vertebrae from an acute injury, and the severity of the injury can vary significantly. For this reason, traumatic spondylolisthesis is classified as Type I, II, IIA, or III.
Injuries to the cervical spine may occur with or without associated spinal cord injury. When there is an associated spinal cord injury, it typically is listed first. Injuries of the spinal cord must be documented as:
