Conn tiss and disc stenos of intvrt foramin of pelvic region

This code signifies a narrowing of the intervertebral foramina in the pelvic region (sacrum and coccyx) due to issues with connective tissue or intervertebral discs. This stenosis can compress nerve roots exiting the spinal canal, leading to neurological symptoms in the lower extremities or pelvic area.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states connective tissue or disc-related stenosis affecting the intervertebral foramina of the sacral or coccygeal spine. It is appropriate for patients presenting with radiculopathy, pain, numbness, or weakness attributable to this specific anatomical narrowing in the pelvic region.

• Ensure documentation specifies the cause of the stenosis as connective tissue or disc-related, not bony overgrowth.
• Confirm the location is explicitly the pelvic region (sacrum/coccyx) to differentiate from other spinal regions.
• Consider sequencing this code after a more specific code for the underlying disc disorder (e.g., disc degeneration with radiculopathy) if applicable.
