ICD-10 code for tabetic crisis

The ICD-10-CM code for tabetic crisis is A52.11 (Tabes dorsalis).

Within A52.1 (symptomatic neurosyphilis), A52.11 is specifically for Tabes dorsalis. Related codes cover unspecified (A52.10), other cerebrospinal syphilis (A52.12), late syphilitic meningitis (A52.13), late syphilitic encephalitis (A52.14), late syphilitic neuropathy (A52.15), Charcot's arthropathy (tabetic) (A52.16), general paresis (A52.17) and other symptomatic neurosyphilis (A52.19).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 056 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.2655) and DRG 057 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.2838), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
