ICD Code M41.80

ICD code M41.80 is other forms of scoliosis where the specific location in the spine is not specified.

1. Presence of abnormal lateral curvature of the spine identified through clinical evaluation or imaging

2. Scoliosis does not fit criteria for idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular, or other specified types

3. The specific anatomical site of the scoliosis is not documented or cannot be determined

4. Patient may present with symptoms such as uneven shoulders, asymmetrical waist, or one hip higher than the other

5. No evidence of underlying conditions that would classify the scoliosis under a more specific code

6. Scoliosis is not associated with kyphosis or lordosis as the primary diagnosis
