Type 1 ExcludesType 1 Excludes Help
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as G54.5. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Information
- A syndrome associated with inflammation of the brachial plexus. Clinical features include severe pain in the shoulder region which may be accompanied by muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the upper extremity. This condition may be associated with virus diseases; immunization; surgery; heroin use (see heroin dependence); and other conditions. The term brachial neuralgia generally refers to pain associated with brachial plexus injury. (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1355-6)
- An inflammatory process affecting the brachial plexus. It results in severe pain in the upper extremity and shoulder, upper arm weakness and loss of sensation in the upper arm.
ICD-10-CM G54.5 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v38.0):
