Nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle. This condition involves the death of muscle tissue due to a lack of blood and oxygen supply, unrelated to physical trauma.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of signs and symptoms indicative of impaired blood flow to muscle tissue, confirmed by diagnostic testing.
Diagnosis involves patient history, physical examination, and imaging (e.g., MRI). Treatment may include analgesics, anticoagulants, and surgery in severe cases.
In simple words: Muscle tissue death occurs when blood flow and oxygen are restricted, not due to an injury.
Nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle refers to the death of muscle tissue due to insufficient blood flow and oxygen, not caused by trauma or injury.This can lead to various symptoms including pain, muscle spasm, numbness, tingling, pale skin, and weakness in the affected area.
Example 1: A patient with diabetes experiences sudden pain and swelling in their thigh, diagnosed as nontraumatic ischemic infarction., A patient with a history of blood clots presents with a cold, pale hand and a weak pulse, diagnosed as nontraumatic ischemic infarction., A patient develops muscle pain and spasm in their forearm after a period of immobility, later diagnosed as nontraumatic ischemic infarction.
Documentation should include medical history, physical exam findings (e.g., coldness, decreased pulse, pain, spasm, numbness, pallor, weakness), imaging results (e.g., MRI), and underlying medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, blood clotting disorders).
