G24.2: Idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia

You have a movement disorder that prevents proper control of one's muscles.

To be able to move muscles properly, the brain needs to control them. If muscles are not being controlled properly, they can seize up. You may then also make involuntary movements. This can affect one or more parts of the body. The cramped muscles may make the body twisted or bent. The reason for the disease is unknown.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
