G90-G99: Other disorders of the nervous system
G95: Other diseases of spinal cord
The category "Other diseases of the spinal cord" includes various conditions that affect the spinal cord, a critical part of the nervous system responsible for sending messages between the brain and the rest of the body. These conditions may result from factors like injury, vascular disorders, infections, or degenerative diseases. Symptoms can vary widely, but generally may involve changes in muscle strength, sensation, and bodily functions like bladder control, depending on the section of the spinal cord affected. The progression of these diseases might be sudden or gradual, and the severity ranges from mild symptoms to severe disability. It's important to note that these diseases aren't transmitted from person to person, but rather are related to an individual's health status and/or external factors, such as a physical trauma.
