ICD-10-CM Code A17.81
Tuberculoma of brain and spinal cord

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

A17.81 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of tuberculoma of brain and spinal cord. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code A17 is used to code Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (MTB, TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections do not have symptoms, known as latent tuberculosis. About 10% of latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which, if left untreated, kills about half of those infected. The classic symptoms of active TB are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. This weight loss was what gave rise to the old term "consumption" for the disease. Infection of other organs can cause a wide range of symptoms.

Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Tuberculoma of brain, unspecified (approximate match)
Tuberculous abscess of brain, unspecified (approximate match)
Tuberculoma of spinal cord, unspecified (approximate match)
Tuberculous abscess of spinal cord, unspecified (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code A17.81 and a single ICD9 code, 013.50 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
