Injury to multiple nerves in several parts

This code signifies a traumatic injury affecting multiple distinct peripheral nerves located in various anatomical regions of the body. It indicates a widespread neurological insult rather than a localized nerve injury or a single nerve plexus involvement.

Apply this code when documentation clearly specifies damage to several individual nerves across different body areas, such as a brachial plexus injury combined with a sciatic nerve injury. This code is appropriate for complex trauma cases where multiple, non-contiguous nerve structures are simultaneously compromised.

• Ensure documentation explicitly identifies multiple distinct nerves and their involvement in different body parts.
• Do not use for injuries limited to a single nerve or a single nerve plexus (e.g., brachial plexus, lumbosacral plexus).
• Consider additional codes for specific nerve injuries if greater detail is available and warranted.
