A52.19 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other symptomatic neurosyphilis. 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.

094.82
Syphilitic parkinsonism (approximate match)
094.83
Syphilitic disseminated retinochoroiditis (approximate match)
094.89
Other specified neurosyphilis (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 A52.19 and a single ICD9 code, 094.89 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
