| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

ICD Code A52.1 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of A52.1 that describes the diagnosis 'symptomatic neurosyphilis' in more detail.

The ICD code A521 is used to code Tabes dorsalis

Tabes dorsalis, also known as syphilitic myelopathy, is a slow degeneration (specifically, demyelination) of the nerves primarily in the dorsal columns (posterior columns) of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body). These nerves normally help maintain a person's sense of position (proprioception), vibration, and discriminative touch.
