G30-G32: Other degenerative diseases of the nervous system
G32: Other degenerative disorders of nervous system in diseases classified elsewhere
The G32 code group encompasses a variety of degenerative disorders of the nervous system that occur secondary to other diseases. These conditions primarily affect the body's nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Over time, these disorders progressively damage or destroy nerves or nerve cells, leading to a more severe loss of function or disability. The specific symptoms and disease progression can vary depending on the underlying disease and the exact portion of the nervous system that's affected. Symptoms might include problems with movement, balance, speech, and cognitive capabilities. Many of these conditions are due to genetic or metabolic disorders while others can result from toxic exposures, immune-related diseases, or unknown factors. Being degenerative disorders, they typically worsen over time, though the rate and severity of progression can also vary.
