2006 ICD-9-CM Volume 1 Diagnosis Codes Home > Symptoms, Signs, And Ill-Defined Conditions 780-799 > Symptoms 780-789 > ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780 General symptoms 780 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.0 Alteration of consciousness 780.0 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.01 Coma A profound state of unconsciousness associated with depressed cerebral activity from which the individual cannot be aroused. Coma generally occurs when there is dysfunction or injury involving both cerebral hemispheres or the brain stem RETICULAR FORMATION. 780.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.01 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.02 Transient alteration of awareness 780.02 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.02 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.03 Persistent vegetative state Vegetative state refers to the neurocognitive status of individuals with severe brain damage, in whom physiologic functions (sleep-wake cycles, autonomic control, and breathing) persist, but awareness (including all cognitive function and emotion) is abolished. 780.03 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.03 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.09 Alteration of consciousness other (ob-tun-DAY-shun) A dulled or reduced level of alertness or consciousness. A state of unresponsiveness from which the subject can be aroused only by vigorous and repeated stimuli. Loss of the ability to maintain awareness of self and environment combined with markedly reduced responsiveness to environmental stimuli. 780.09 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.09 contains 15 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.1 Hallucinations Subjectively experienced sensations in the absence of an appropriate stimulus, but which are regarded by the individual as real. They may be of organic origin or associated with MENTAL DISORDERS. A hallucination is a false sensory perception in the absence of an external stimulus, as distinct from an illusion which is a misperception of an external stimulus. 780.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.1 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.2 Syncope and collapse A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. A spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood to the brain. 780.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.2 contains 30 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.3 Convulsions Sudden, involuntary skeletal muscular contractions of cerebral or brain stem origin.--2004 (SEE-zhurz) Convulsions; sudden, involuntary movements of the muscles. 780.3 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.31 Febrile convulsions Seizures that occur during a febrile episode. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to five years. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been identified in some families. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy (i.e., a nonfebrile seizure disorder) following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy. 780.31 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.31 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.39 Other convulsions Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or "seizure disorder." 780.39 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.39 contains 44 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.4 Dizziness and giddiness An illusion of movement, either of the external world revolving around the individual or of the individual revolving in space. Vertigo may be associated with disorders of the inner ear (LABYRINTH); VESTIBULAR NERVE; BRAINSTEM; or CEREBRAL CORTEX. Lesions in the TEMPORAL LOBE and PARIETAL LOBE may be associated with FOCAL SEIZURES that may feature vertigo as an ictal manifestation. Vertigo is a feeling of movement, a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo). Vertigo is medically distinct from dizziness, lightheadedness, and unsteadiness. 780.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.4 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.5 Sleep disturbances A change from the patient's baseline sleeping pattern, either an increase or a decrease in the number of hours slept. This can also refer to alterations in the stages of sleep. 780.5 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.50 Unspecified sleep disturbance Conditions characterized by disturbances of usual sleep patterns or behaviors. Sleep disorders may be divided into three major categories: DYSSOMNIAS (i.e. disorders characterized by insomnia or hypersomnia), PARASOMNIAS (abnormal sleep behaviors), and sleep disorders secondary to medical or psychiatric disorders. 780.50 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.50 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.51 Insomnia with sleep apnea, unspecified 780.51 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.51 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.52 Insomnia, unspecified Difficulty in going to sleep or getting enough sleep. 780.52 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.52 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.53 Hypersomnia with sleep apnea, unspecified 780.53 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.53 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.54 Hypersomnia, unspecified 780.54 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.54 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.55 Disruption of 24 hour sleep wake cycle, unspecified 780.55 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.55 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.56 Dysfunctions associated with sleep stages or arousal from sleep 780.56 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.56 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.57 Unspecified sleep apnea 780.57 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.57 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.58 Sleep related movement disorder, unspecified Excessive periodic leg movements during sleep that cause micro-arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. This condition induces a state of relative sleep deprivation which manifests as excessive daytime hypersomnolence. The movements are characterized by repetitive contractions of the tibialis anterior muscle, extension of the toe, and intermittent flexion of the hip, knee and ankle. 780.58 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.58 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.59 Other sleep disturbances 780.59 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.59 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.6 Fever Fever in which the etiology cannot be ascertained. A rise in body temperature above the normal, often as a response to infection. Reference(s): GO:jl The elevation of the body's temperature above the upper limit of normal, usually taken as 37.7 degrees C. Elevation of body temperature above the normal; pyrexia. It may be due to such physiological stress as ovulation, excess thyroid hormone secretions, vigorous exercise, central nervous system lesions, or to infection by microorganisms, or to a host of noninfectious processes, as that accompanying inflammation or resulting from release of pyrogenic materials, as in leukemia. Abnormal high body temperature. An abnormal elevation of body temperature, usually as a result of a pathologic process. 780.6 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.6 contains 26 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.7 Malaise and fatigue 780.7 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.71 Chronic fatigue syndrome A syndrome characterized by persistent or recurrent fatigue, diffuse musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, and subjective cognitive impairment of 6 months duration or longer. Symptoms are not caused by ongoing exertion; are not relieved by rest; and result in a substantial reduction of previous levels of occupational, educational, social, or personal activities. Minor alterations of immune, neuroendocrine, and autonomic function may be associated with this syndrome. There is also considerable overlap between this condition and FIBROMYALGIA. (From Semin Neurol 1998;18(2):237-42; Ann Intern Med 1994 Dec 15;121 A syndrome of unknown etiology. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a clinical diagnosis characterized by an unexplained persistent or relapsing chronic fatigue that is of at least six months' duration, is not the result of ongoing exertion, is not substantially alleviated by rest, and results in substantial reduction of previous levels of occupational, educational, social, or personal activities. Common concurrent symptoms of at least six months duration include impairment of memory or concentration, diffuse pain, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, headaches of a new type, pattern, or severity, and nonrestorative sleep. The etiology of CFS may be viral or immunologic. Neurasthenia and fibromyalgia may represent related disorders. Also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis. --2004 780.71 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.71 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.79 Other malaise and fatigue Exhaustion that interferes with physical and mental activities. Clinical sign or symptom manifested as debility, or lack or loss of strength and energy. The state of weariness following a period of exertion, mental or physical, characterized by a decreased capacity for work and reduced efficiency to respond to stimuli. Weakness; lack of energy and strength. Fatigue is that state, following a period of mental or bodily activity, characterized by a lessened capacity for work and reduced efficiency of accomplishment, usually accompanied by a feeling of weariness, sleepiness, or irritability. 780.79 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.79 contains 31 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.8 Generalized hyperhidrosis 780.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.8 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.9 Other general symptoms 780.9 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.91 Fussy infant (baby) 780.91 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.91 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.92 Excessive crying of infant (baby) 780.92 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.92 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.93 Memory loss Pathologic partial or complete loss of the ability to recall past experiences (AMNESIA, RETROGRADE) or to form new memories (AMNESIA, ANTEROGRADE). This condition may be of organic or psychologic origin. Organic forms of amnesia are usually associated with dysfunction of the DIENCEPHALON or HIPPOCAMPUS. Loss of the ability to recall information that had been previously encoded in memory prior to a specified or approximate point in time. This process may be organic or psychogenic in origin. Organic forms may be associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; and a wide variety of other conditions that impair cerebral function. Systematic and extensive loss of memory caused by organic or psychological factors. The loss may be temporary or permanent, and may involve old or recent memories. 780.93 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.93 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.94 Early satiety 780.94 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.94 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.95 Other excessive crying 780.95 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 780.95 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 780.99 Other general symptoms The sudden sensation of being cold.
