    Note
    • This category is to be used only when the listed conditions are reported without further specification, or are stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause. The category is also for use in multiple coding to identify these conditions resulting from any cause
    Type 1 Excludes
    • congenital cerebral palsy (G80.-)
    • functional quadriplegia (R53.2)
    • hysterical paralysis (F44.4)
    Paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis)
Clinical Information
  • Paralysis of all four limbs.
  • Paralysis of both arms and both legs.
  • Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from brain diseases; spinal cord diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; or rarely muscular diseases. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper brain stem which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
