ICD Code D32.0

ICD code D32.0 is a diagnosis for a non-cancerous (benign) tumor located in the membranes covering the brain, known as the cerebral meninges.

1. Presence of a noncancerous (benign) growth identified within the cerebral meninges on imaging studies (MRI or CT scan).

2. Patient may present with symptoms such as persistent headaches, seizures, or neurological deficits (e.g., weakness, sensory changes, visual disturbances) depending on tumor location.

3. Histopathological confirmation of benign meningeal tumor following biopsy or surgical resection.

4. Absence of malignant features or evidence of metastasis on clinical and radiological evaluation.

5. No involvement of spinal meninges or other intracranial structures outside the cerebral meninges.
