Migraine with aura, not intractable, with status migrainosus
ICD-10 G43.101 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of migraine with aura, not intractable, with status migrainosus.
Migraine with aura is characterized by the presence of neurological symptoms that precede or accompany the headache phase of the migraine. These symptoms can include visual disturbances, sensory changes, and speech difficulties. Status migrainosus refers to a severe migraine attack that lasts longer than 72 hours, which can lead to significant disability and may require hospitalization. The term 'not intractable' indicates that the migraine is manageable with appropriate treatment, distinguishing it from more severe forms that do not respond to standard therapies. Patients may experience triggers such as stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, and environmental factors. Preventive treatments may include medications such as beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants, as well as lifestyle modifications to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
