About coding Pseudotumor
The ICD-10-CM code for Pseudotumor is G93.2 (Benign intracranial hypertension). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on G93.2.
Within G93 (other disorders of brain), G93.2 is specifically for benign intracranial hypertension. Related codes cover cerebral cysts (G93.0), Anoxic brain damage, not elsewhere classified (G93.1), Postviral and related fatigue syndromes (G93.3), other and unspecified encephalopathy (G93.4), compression of brain (G93.5), cerebral edema (G93.6), Reye's syndrome (G93.7), other specified disorders of brain (G93.8) and 1 more.
Don't report G93.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: hypertensive encephalopathy (I67.4) and obstructive hydrocephalus (G91.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
