Other tuberculosis of nervous system

This code represents tuberculosis affecting the nervous system in locations other than those specifically classified elsewhere (e.g., tuberculous meningitis, tuberculoma of meninges/brain/spinal cord). It encompasses rare or unspecified forms of neurological tuberculosis.

Use this code when documentation specifies tuberculosis of the nervous system that does not fit more specific codes like G01 (tuberculous meningitis) or A17.0 (tuberculoma of meninges). This may include cases where the exact neurological structure affected is not precisely identified or is an atypical manifestation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "tuberculosis" and "nervous system" involvement, excluding more specific sites.
• Always sequence this code after the primary site of tuberculosis, if known and active.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-10-CM code for neurological tuberculosis is available and supported by documentation.
