== Additional Info ==
*This code includes any evidence of so-called mass effect that compresses all or part of the brain.
*The magnitude can be small (e.g. a small "shift" seen on CT) all the up to massive, as in brain herniation.  
*This code includes NON-TRAUMATIC causes only.  For brain compression (including herniation) secondary to head trauma, use instead '''[[Brain injury, diffuse (TBI), injury/trauma]]'''

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Head trauma}}
