ICD-10-CM P94: Disorders Of Muscle Tone Of Newborn Overview
The ICD-10-CM P94 group represents disorders of muscle tone presenting in the neonatal period, including abnormalities such as hypotonia and hypertonia related to perinatal events. These diagnoses target the neuromuscular and central nervous systems in newborns and often indicate underlying neurologic injury or metabolic conditions.
