2007 ICD-9-CM Volume 1 Diagnosis Codes Home > Endocrine, Nutritional And Metabolic Diseases, And Immunity Disorders 240-279 > Diseases Of Other Endocrine Glands 250-259 > ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253 Disorders of the pituitary gland and its hypothalamic control Neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, and other diseases of the hypothalamus. Clinical manifestations include appetite disorders; AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; SLEEP DISORDERS; behavioral symptoms related to dysfunction of the LIMBIC SYSTEM; and neuroendocrine disorders. 253 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.0 Acromegaly and gigantism 253.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.0 contains 20 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.1 Other and unspecified anterior pituitary hyperfunction 253.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.1 contains 19 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.2 Panhypopituitarism Diminution or cessation of secretion of one or more hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (including LH; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE; SOMATOTROPIN; and CORTICOTROPIN). This may result from surgical or radiation ablation, non-secretory PITUITARY NEOPLASMS, metastatic tumors, infarction, PITUITARY APOPLEXY, infiltrative or granulomatous processes, and other conditions. 253.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.2 contains 32 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.3 Pituitary dwarfism A form of dwarfism due to deficient release of GROWTH HORMONE which may result from dysfunction of the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland. 253.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.3 contains 35 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.4 Other anterior pituitary disorders 253.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.4 contains 26 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.5 Diabetes insipidus A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiology of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the PITUITARY, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst. Deficiency of vasopressin secretion from the posterior pituitary gland. Clinical manifestations include extreme thirst, polydipsia, and reduced serum osmolality. Potential etiologies include CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; post-neurosurgical states; HYPOTHALAMIC NEOPLASMS; PITUITARY NEOPLASMS; CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM INFECTIONS; PITUITARY APOPLEXY; CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS; granulomatous diseases (including SARCOIDOSIS); and other conditions. The disorder may also be inherited as an autosomal or recessive trait. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch 36, pp55-8) 253.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.5 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.6 Other disorders of neurohypophysis Abnormal secretion of antidiuretic hormone in conjunction with neoplastic growth occurring anywhere in the body. Hyponatremia and renal salt loss attributed to overexpansion of body fluids resulting from sustained release of VASOPRESSINS (i.e., antidiuretic hormone) despite the absence of appropriate stimuli. Associated conditions include medication effect; MENINGITIS; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ENCEPHALITIS; CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS; HYDROCEPHALUS; PNEUMONIA; ASTHMA; THYROID DISEASES; and other conditions. This condition may also be idiopathic or result from ectopic (extra-pituitary) production of ADH. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp59-62) 253.6 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.6 contains 13 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.7 Iatrogenic pituitary disorders 253.7 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.7 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.8 Other disorders of the pituitary and other syndromes of diencephalohypophyseal origin Rathke's pouch cysts are rarely symptomatic in the first two decades of life though they may produce symptoms in the third and fourth decades of life. When the cysts do present in the first decades of life, the symptoms are generally associated with diabetes insipidus or other conditions related to hypopituitarism. 253.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.8 contains 43 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 253.9 Unspecified disorder of the pituitary gland and its hypothalamic control Disorders of the anterior or posterior pituitary gland which usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of pituitary hormones. Pituitary mass lesions may also produce compression of the OPTIC CHIASM and other adjacent structures. Neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, and other diseases of the hypothalamus. Clinical manifestations include appetite disorders; AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; SLEEP DISORDERS; behavioral symptoms related to dysfunction of the LIMBIC SYSTEM; and neuroendocrine disorders. 253.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 253.9 contains 8 index entries
