Stereotyped movement disorders

The ICD-10 code for stereotyped movement disorders is F98.4.

Clinical notes

Excludes1 (not coded here)

An Excludes1 note is a pure exclusion: the excluded condition and this code should never be reported together, because the two conditions cannot occur at the same time (e.g. a congenital form vs. an acquired form of the same disease).

  • abnormal involuntary movements (R25.-)

Excludes2 (not included here)

An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.

  • compulsions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (F42.-)
  • hair plucking (F63.3)
  • movement disorders of organic origin (G20-G25)
  • nail-biting (F98.8)
  • nose-picking (F98.8)
  • stereotypies that are part of a broader psychiatric condition (F01-F95)
  • thumb-sucking (F98.8)
  • tic disorders (F95.-)
  • trichotillomania (F63.3)
