ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
323.61 — Infectious acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
About ICD-9-CM 323.61
323.61 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for infectious acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as G04.00 (Acute disseminated encephalitis and encephalomyelitis, unspecified), G04.01 (Postinfectious acute disseminated encephalitis and encephalomyelitis (postinfectious ADEM)) and G04.39 (Other acute necrotizing hemorrhagic encephalopathy). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
