E23.6 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other disorders of pituitary gland. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code E236 is used to code Pituitary apoplexy

Pituitary apoplexy or pituitary tumor apoplexy is bleeding into or impaired blood supply of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. This usually occurs in the presence of a tumor of the pituitary, although in 80% of cases this has not been diagnosed previously. The most common initial symptom is a sudden headache, often associated with a rapidly worsening visual field defect or double vision caused by compression of nerves surrounding the gland. This is followed in many cases by acute symptoms caused by lack of secretion of essential hormones, predominantly adrenal insufficiency.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

253.8
Other disorders of the pituitary and other syndromes of diencephalohypophyseal origin (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 E23.6 and a single ICD9 code, 253.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
