The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts. 344.00 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.00 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.01 Quadriplegia c1-c4 complete 344.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.01 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.02 Quadriplegia c1-c4 incomplete 344.02 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.02 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.03 Quadriplegia c5-c7 complete 344.03 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.03 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.04 Quadriplegia c5-c7 incomplete 344.04 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.04 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.09 Other quadriplegia 344.09 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.09 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.1 Paraplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness. 344.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.1 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.2 Diplegia of upper limbs 344.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.2 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.3 Monoplegia of lower limb 344.3 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.30 Monoplegia of lower limb affecting unspecified side 344.30 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.30 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.31 Monoplegia of lower limb affecting dominant side 344.31 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.31 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.32 Monoplegia of lower limb affecting nondominant side 344.32 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.32 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.4 Monoplegia of upper limb 344.4 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.40 Monoplegia of upper limb affecting unspecified side 344.40 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.40 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.41 Monoplegia of upper limb affecting dominant side 344.41 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.41 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.42 Monoplegia of upper limb affecting nondominant side 344.42 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.42 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.5 Unspecified monoplegia 344.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.5 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.6 Cauda equina syndrome 344.6 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.60 Cauda equina syndrome without neurogenic bladder 344.60 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.60 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.61 Cauda equina syndrome with neurogenic bladder 344.61 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.61 contains 19 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.8 Other specified paralytic syndromes 344.8 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.81 Locked-in state 344.81 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.81 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.89 Other specified paralytic syndrome 344.89 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.89 contains 65 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 344.9 Paralysis unspecified (pa-RAL-ih-sis) Loss of ability to move all or part of the body.
