Additional Info
Demyelinating diseases of the CNS can be classified according to their pathogenesis into several categories: demyelination due to inflammatory processes, viral demyelination, demyelination caused by acquired metabolic derangements, hypoxic–ischaemic forms of demyelination and demyelination caused by focal compression.
- Inflammatory process Three diseases fall into this category: Multiple Sclerosis acute‐disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and acute haemorrhagic leucoencephalitis (AHL)
- The principal viral demyelinating disease in humans is Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
- acquired metabolic demyelination- The most common diseases in this category are Central Pontine Myelinolysis and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM)
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Degenerative nervous system disorder, NOS
- Muscle disorder/myopathy (primary or secondary), NOS
