Brown-Sequard syndrome at T11-T12, subs

This code signifies a partial spinal cord lesion affecting the T11-T12 level of the thoracic spine, characterized by ipsilateral motor paralysis and loss of proprioception, along with contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation. It results from damage to one half of the spinal cord, often due to trauma, tumor, or ischemia.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving active treatment for Brown-Sequard syndrome specifically localized to the T11-T12 spinal cord segment. This includes rehabilitation, medication management, or ongoing evaluation after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies Brown-Sequard syndrome and the T11-T12 level.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is still receiving active treatment for the condition.
• Do not use for initial diagnosis or for sequelae/late effects once active treatment is complete.
