ICD code G40.109 is used to identify localization-related epilepsy with simple partial seizures, not intractable, without status epilepticus.
ICD code G40.109 is localization-related (focal) symptomatic epilepsy with simple partial seizures that are not difficult to control (not intractable) and have not resulted in a prolonged seizure episode (without status epilepticus).
1. Patient presents with recurrent, unprovoked seizures that are focal in onset.
2. Seizures are characterized by simple partial symptoms (e.g., motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic symptoms) without impairment of consciousness.
3. No evidence of intractability; seizures are controlled with treatment or have not failed adequate trials of antiepileptic medications.
4. No history or current evidence of status epilepticus.
5. Clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing (e.g., EEG, neuroimaging) support a symptomatic etiology for the epilepsy (i.e., attributable to an underlying structural or metabolic condition).
6. Seizure semiology and diagnostic findings are consistent with localization-related (focal) epilepsy.
