Additional Info
- This code includes all types/locations of compartment syndromes of muscles -- it does not include Compartment syndrome, abdominal
- Compartment Syndrome is a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Compartment syndrome can be either acute or chronic.
- Regarding Diabetic Myonecrosis -- a complication of diabetes with spontaneous ischemic necrosis of skeletal muscle, usually of the thigh, unrelated to atheroembolism or occlusion of major arteries.
- Code this entity as 2 Combined ICD10 codes: This one Muscle, ischemic infarction + Diabetes mellitus chronic complication: Musculoskeletal
- Ischemia is an entity that can be contributed to my a variety of causes, and in any organ or body region
- When regional ischemia is present, you should use the ICD10 Category:Ischemia code for that body region, e.g. Limb ischemia (upper or lower), Mesenteric ischemia, acute
- IF known, you should also link to the ischemia code the contributing cause or causes, which may include:
- the Category:Atherosclerosis code of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Atherosclerosis of arteries of arms or legs
- the Category:Venous thromboembolism / Category:Arterial thromboembolism code of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Thromboembolism/embolism, renal vein
- Compartment Syndrome
- Mechanical compression of a limb or its vessels (as most often occurs in trauma situations)
- Use of vasoconstrictor medications, for whatever indication
- Of course, a patient may have any of these potential causes of ischemia without ischemia.
