ICD10 code: Q87.0
ICD9 code: 757.33
Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the development of the oral cavity, face, and digits. It affects multiple systems, including the central nervous system, skeletal system, and genitourinary system. The ICD10 code Q87.0 and ICD9 code 757.33 are used to classify and identify this syndrome for medical purposes.
Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome (OFDS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities affecting the development of the oral cavity, face, and digits. The ICD10 code for this syndrome is Q87.0. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformation syndromes predominantly affecting facial appearance." It is important to note that ICD10 codes are alphanumeric codes used for the classification of diseases and health conditions.
On the other hand, the previous coding system, ICD9, used until September 30, 2015, had a different code for Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome. The ICD9 code for this syndrome was 757.33. ICD9 codes were also used for disease classification and billing purposes, but they were replaced by ICD10 codes to provide more detailed and specific information about the condition.
Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome is a complex disorder with multiple variations, and its severity can vary widely among affected individuals. It typically involves abnormalities in the mouth, such as cleft palate or cleft lip, as well as facial features like hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes), low-set ears, and micrognathia (small jaw). Additionally, digital anomalies may include extra fingers or toes, fused digits, or missing digits.
The syndrome may also affect other body systems, leading to various additional features such as kidney abnormalities, intellectual disability, and central nervous system defects. Due to the wide range of symptoms and potential complications, individuals with Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome often require a multidisciplinary approach to their healthcare, involving specialists in genetics, dentistry, plastic surgery, and other relevant fields.
In conclusion, the ICD10 code for Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome is Q87.0, while the corresponding ICD9 code was 757.33. These codes serve as a standardized way of classifying and identifying this specific genetic disorder within the medical community.
