8A60.A

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Epilepsy due to genetic syndromes with widespread or progressive effects

Description

Epilepsy due to genetically determined conditions in which, as we currently understand it, there is a separate disorder interposed between the genetic defect and the epilepsy, for example, as in tuberous sclerosis. Includes epilepsy due to documented autosomal, X-linked, mitochondrial or chromosomal abnormalities.

Coding note from above levels

Use additional code, if desired, to identify the type of seizure.
