Code R51 is the diagnosis code used for Headache. It is the most common form of pain.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder related to high pressure in the brain. It causes signs and symptoms of a brain tumor. It is also sometimes called pseudotumor cerebri or benign intracranial hypertension. The fluid that surrounds the spinal cord and brain is called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF.
Breakdown (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt, initial encounter. T85. 01XA 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 T85.
VP shunts are placed to treat hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus (hi-droh-SEF-eh-less) happens when CSF does not drain out of the hollow spaces inside the brain (called ventricles) as it should. VP shunts drain the extra fluid and help prevent pressure from getting too high in the brain.

What is increased intracranial pressure (ICP)? A brain injury or another medical condition can cause growing pressure inside your skull. This dangerous condition is called increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and can lead to a headache. The pressure also further injure your brain or spinal cord.
Left untreated, an increase in the intracranial pressure (ICP) may lead to brain injury, seizure, coma, stroke, or death. With prompt treatment, it is possible for people with increased ICP to make a full recovery.
What Is Pseudotumor Cerebri? Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a disorder of elevated spinal fluid pressure in the brain. PTC is a condition important to recognize because it may lead to progressive loss of vision over time – which may be permanent.
Symptoms of acquired hydrocephalus can include. headache. vomiting and nausea. blurry vision. balance problems. bladder control problems. thinking and memory problems. hydrocephalus can permanently damage the brain, causing problems with physical and mental development. If untreated, it is usually fatal.
Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the cranium which may be a congenital or acquired disorder; hydrocephalus ex-vacuo refers to ventricular dilation that occurs as a result of brain substance loss from cerebral infarction and other conditions.
