Brown Syndrome is a rare eye condition characterized by limited upward movement of the affected eye due to a problem with the superior oblique tendon. The ICD-10 code for Brown Syndrome is H49.2. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Brown Syndrome as it was replaced by ICD-10. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Brown syndrome is a relatively rare eye condition that affects the movement of the eye. It is characterized by restricted upward movement of the affected eye, resulting in limited ability to look upwards. The condition is typically present at birth or may develop later in life due to certain factors.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Brown syndrome is H49.11. This code falls under the broader category of "Paralytic strabismus" in the chapter on "Diseases of the eye and adnexa." It is important to note that the ICD-10 code provides a standardized way of classifying and documenting medical conditions for billing and statistical purposes.
In the previous revision, the Ninth Revision (ICD-9), Brown syndrome was categorized under 378.84. This code was used to identify "Other paralytic strabismus" in the chapter on "Diseases of the nervous system and sense organs."
Remember, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate coding and documentation of any medical condition.
