Short description: Epilepsy, unsp, not intractable, without status epilepticus The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM G40.909 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G40.909 - other international versions of ICD-10 G40.909 may differ.
abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother ( O28.-) epileptic convulsions and seizures ( G40.-) The most dramatic type of seizure, characterized by tonic and clonic contraction of most skeletal muscles. Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
Absence epileptic syndrome. G40.A should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM G40.A became effective on October 1, 2018.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified convulsions- R56. 9- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code G40. 89 for Other seizures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
“Non-specific tonic clonic seizures” is also an inclusion term. So, either term directs coders to ICD-10-CM code G40. 4.
However, there are also codes available for petit mal status (345.2) and grand mal status (345.3). Status epilepticus indicates a state of continuous seizure activity lasting for a significant amount of time or having frequent recurrent seizures without regaining full consciousness in between them.

Catamenial epilepsy (CE), also known as menstrual seizures, is linked to a woman's menstrual cycle and related hormone levels in the body. Women with CE often have more seizures during certain times of their cycle. This may include: Just before or during menstruation, or period.
A seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minutes period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes is called status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death.
Overview. A partial (focal) seizure happens when unusual electrical activity affects a small area of the brain. When the seizure does not affect awareness, it is known as a simple partial seizure.
A simple partial seizure is a type of seizure associated with epilepsy. It may also be referred to as a focal seizure. Epilepsy is a condition that causes multiple seizures, and the seizures can be of any type. A simple partial seizure will affect only one area of your brain.
If documentation does not indicate a specific cause for the seizure-like activity it is appropriate to code R56. 9 for unspecified convulsions.
About 1 in 3 of people with epilepsy have intractable epilepsy. They're common in kids who have infantile spasms, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or genetic mutations associated with epilepsy. Other causes include tumors and scarring from brain injury, or lack of oxygen.
PTE and post-traumatic seizures (PTS) have both been used to describe seizures occurring after head trauma that are believed to be causally related to the trauma itself [3]. PTS are seizures occurring in the first week after TBI, and are considered to be provoked by head injury.
A seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minutes period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes is called status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death.
A: When an epilepsy patient experiences a sustained period of freedom from seizures (seizure control), then suddenly experiences a seizure, such an event is commonly referred to as a breakthrough seizure. When these breakthrough seizures occur, there can be severe clinical consequences for the patient.
A disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. A group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain. These problems can produce seizures, unusual body movements, a loss of consciousness or changes in consciousness, as well as mental problems or problems with the senses.
Brain disorder characterized by recurring excessive neuronal discharge, exhibited by transient episodes of motor, sensory, or psychic dysfunction, with or without unconsciousness or convulsive movements. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures. The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, ...
A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)
The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain send out the wrong signals. People may have strange sensations and emotions or behave strangely. They may have violent muscle spasms or lose consciousness. Epilepsy has many possible causes, including illness, brain injury and abnormal brain development. In many cases, the cause is unknown.doctors use brain scans and other tests to diagnose epilepsy. It is important to start treatment right away. There is no cure for epilepsy, but medicines can control seizures for most people. When medicines are not working well, surgery or implanted devices such as vagus nerve stimulators may help. Special diets can help some children with epilepsy.
Clinical Information. A brain disorder characterized by episodes of abnormally increased neuronal discharge resulting in transient episodes of sensory or motor neurological dysfunction, or psychic dysfunction. These episodes may or may not be associated with loss of consciousness or convulsions.

A childhood seizure disorder characterized by rhythmic electrical brain discharges of generalized onset. Clinical features include a sudden cessation of ongoing activity usually without loss of postural tone. Rhythmic blinking of the eyelids or lip smacking frequently accompanies the seizures.
Epilepsy characterized by very brief episodes of sudden cessation of activity, usually associated with eye blinking. There is no loss of the muscle tone.
