Clinical Information
- A disorder of the central nervous system characterized by gradual and progressive loss of neural tissue and neurologic function.
- Hereditary and sporadic conditions which are characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction. These disorders are often associated with atrophy of the affected central or peripheral nervous system structures.
- Neurologic disorders characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction and loss of neural tissue.
ICD-10-CM G31.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
- 056 Degenerative nervous system disorders with mcc
- 057 Degenerative nervous system disorders without mcc
