Trigeminal neuralgia. G50.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia, sometimes called tic douloureux, is a type of nerve (neuropathic) pain in the side of the face and can be a symptom of multiple sclerosis. For some people it is a sudden severe sharp pain like an electric shock but for others it may be a more long lasting aching or burning sensation.
The trigeminal nerve is the fifth nerve in the cranium. Also known as the fifth vertebrate peripheral nerve, trigeminal nerves are responsible for processing sensation from the head to the brain.
The trigeminal nerve is the largest and most complex of the 12 cranial nerves (CNs). It supplies sensations to the face, mucous membranes, and other structures of the head. It is the motor nerve for the muscles of mastication and contains proprioceptive fibers.
ICD-10 code G50. 0 for Trigeminal neuralgia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Trigeminal root lesions: adjacent tumors and vascular malformations, especially acoustic neurinoma and cholesteatomas. These lesions are prone to produce facial pain that is often misdiagnosed as tic douloureux or tooth pain.

ICD-10 code: M79. 2 Neuralgia and neuritis, unspecified.
Evidence suggests that in up to 95% of cases, trigeminal neuralgia is caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve close to where it enters the brain stem, the lowest part of the brain that merges with the spinal cord. This type of trigeminal neuralgia is known as primary trigeminal neuralgia.
The trigeminal nerve, also called the fifth cranial nerve, mediates sensations of the face and eye as well as many of the muscle movements involved in chewing. It is the largest of the twelve cranial nerves, and like the others, it is a peripheral nerve that originates in the brainstem.

The trigeminal nerve is the fifth cranial nerve (CN V). Its primary function is to provide sensory and motor innervation to the face. The trigeminal nerve consists of three branches on either side that extend to different territories of the face.

Maxillofacial trauma is any injury to the face or jaws. Facial trauma may present with skin lacerations, burns, obstruction to the nasal cavity or sinuses, damage to the orbital (eye) sockets, fracture to the jawbone, and missing or broken teeth.
ICD-10 code R68. 84 for Jaw pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by involvement of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve). A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve ). Diseases of the trigeminal nerve or its nuclei, which are located in the pons and medulla. The nerve is composed of three divisions: ophthalmic, ...
Common conditions affecting the nerve include brain stem ischemia, infratentorial neoplasms, and trigeminal neuralgia. Codes. G50 Disorders of trigeminal nerve.
Diseases of the trigeminal nerve or its nuclei, which are located in the pons and medulla. The nerve is composed of three divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular, which provide sensory innervation to structures of the face, sinuses, and portions of the cranial vault. The mandibular nerve also innervates muscles of mastication.
