A52.17 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of general paresis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

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.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

094.1
General paresis (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 094.1 was previously used, A52.17 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.

Parent Code: A52.1 - Symptomatic neurosyphilis
