Can anyone help me out? I need the ICD-9 code for CLIPPERS - Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive
to steroids.
Thank-you
 
There is not a code this specific in ICD-9 as it is a relatively rare disorder. It is a form of encephalomyelitis so the best you could do would probably be 323.81 Other causes of encephalitis and encephalomyelitis. None of the other terms are found in the book.
