Focal or localization-related epilepsies have previously been referred to as partial epilepsies [5]. Most of the focal epilepsies are either structural or unknown, which means there is a presumed focal structural cause that cannot be identified historically or be seen with current imaging techniques.
Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures, intractable, with status epilepticus. G40. 211 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
What is localization epilepsy?
Complicated febrile seizures are reported in 40\% of patients with refractory TLE. Visceral sensations, fear, anxiety, olfactory disturbances, and psychic phenomena are commonly reported by patients with seizures arising from the mesial temporal lobe.
Is partial epilepsy the same as focal epilepsy?
When an epileptic seizure starts in one side of the brain, it’s called a focal onset seizure or a focal seizure. Both terms mean the same thing. Until recently these seizures were called partial seizures.
What is focal symptomatic epilepsy?
Focal epilepsies are characterized by seizures arising from a specific part (lobe) of the brain. Focal epilepsies include idiopathic location-related epilepsies (ILRE), frontal lobe epilepsy, temporal lobe epilepsy, parietal lobe epilepsy and occipital lobe epilepsy.
Are partial seizures epilepsy?
A simple partial seizure is a type of seizure associated with epilepsy. It may also be referred to as a focal seizure. Epilepsy is a condition that causes multiple seizures, and the seizures can be of any type. A simple partial seizure will affect only one area of your brain.
Localization-related epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy in adults and may result from febrile seizures, infection, stroke, trauma, neoplasm, or inflammatory conditions.
Cryptogenic focal epilepsy is by far the most common type of adult-onset epilepsy. By definition, the seizures arise from a localized region of the brain. If the cause is found, they are said to be symptomatic. If imaging study findings are normal, the cause remains presumptive, and they are said to be cryptogenic.
What are the four types of focal seizures?
Focal epilepsy seizures come in four categories:
- Focal aware seizures. If you know what’s happening during the seizure, it’s an “aware” seizure.
- Focal impaired awareness seizures.
- Focal motor seizures.
- Focal non-motor seizures.
What is focal epilepsy?
Focal epilepsy is a neurological condition in which the predominant symptom is recurring seizures that affect one hemisphere (half) of the brain.

What is the ICD 10 code for partial seizure?
G40.2 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G40.2. Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. Applicable To Attacks with alteration of consciousness, often with automatisms.
What does localization mean in ICD 10?
Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures, not intractable, without status epilepticus. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM G40.209 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G40.209 – other international versions of ICD-10 G40.209 may differ.
