Barakat Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hearing loss, kidney abnormalities, and parathyroid gland dysfunction. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD10 code assigned for Barakat Syndrome. In the ICD9 coding system, it would be classified under multiple codes depending on the specific symptoms and manifestations. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding.
Barakat Syndrome, also known as Branchio-Oto-Renal (BOR) syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by specific malformations affecting the ears, kidneys, and neck. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for this condition. The ICD-10 code for Barakat Syndrome is Q87.0. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformation syndromes predominantly associated with short stature" in the ICD-10 coding system.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) was replaced by ICD-10 in October 2015. As a result, ICD-9 codes are no longer used in medical coding. However, for reference purposes, the ICD-9 code for Barakat Syndrome or BOR syndrome was 759.89. This code was categorized under "Other specified congenital anomalies" in the ICD-9 system.
It is important to note that ICD-10 provides a more detailed and extensive coding system compared to its predecessor. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allows for more accurate and specific coding, facilitating better understanding and communication among healthcare professionals.
