In general, recurrent headaches that are not associated with a primary disease process are referred to as HEADACHE DISORDERS (e.g., MIGRAINE). Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES. Pain in various parts of the head, not confined to the area of distribution of any nerve. 784.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.0 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.1 Throat pain 784.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.1 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.2 Swelling mass or lump in head and neck 784.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.2 contains 25 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.3 Aphasia A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia. 784.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.3 contains 9 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.4 Voice disturbance Disorders of voice pitch, loudness, or quality. Dysphonia refers to impaired utterance of sounds by the vocal folds. 784.4 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.40 Voice disturbance unspecified Disorders of voice pitch, loudness, or quality.

This may result from CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; CEREBELLAR DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; BRAIN STEM diseases; or diseases of the corticobulbar tracts (see PYRAMIDAL TRACTS). The cortical language centers are intact in this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p489) 784.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.5 contains 14 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.6 Other symbolic dysfunction 784.6 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.60 Symbolic dysfunction unspecified 784.60 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.60 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.61 Alexia and dyslexia 784.61 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 784.61 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 784.69 Other symbolic dysfunction A group of cognitive disorders characterized by the inability to perform previously learned skills that cannot be attributed to deficits of motor or sensory function. The two major subtypes of this condition are ideomotor (see APRAXIA, IDEOMOTOR) and ideational apraxia, which refers to loss of the ability to mentally formulate the processes involved with performing an action. For example, dressing apraxia may result from an inability to mentally formulate the act of placing clothes on the body. Apraxias are generally associated with lesions of the dominant PARIETAL LOBE and supramarginal gyrus. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp56-7) Loss of the ability to comprehend the meaning or recognize the importance of various forms of stimulation that cannot be attributed to impairment of a primary sensory modality. Tactile agnosia is characterized by an inability to perceive the shape and nature of an object by touch alone, despite unimpaired sensation to light touch, position, and other primary sensory modalities. Loss or impairment of the ability to write (letters, syllables, words, or phrases) due to an injury to a specific cerebral area or occasionally due to emotional factors. This condition rarely occurs in isolation, and often accompanies APHASIA.
