ICD10 code of Cavernous Malformation and ICD9 code

Cavernous malformation, also known as cavernous angioma or cavernoma, is a vascular disorder characterized by abnormal clusters of blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord. These clusters, called caverns, are filled with blood and can lead to various symptoms depending on their size and location. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for this condition.

The ICD-10 code for cavernous malformation is Q28.2. This code falls under the category of "Other congenital malformations of circulatory system" within Chapter 17, "Congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities." The code Q28.2 is used to identify and classify patients with cavernous malformations in medical records, billing, and healthcare statistics.

In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, has a different code for cavernous malformation. The corresponding ICD-9 code is 747.89, falling under the category of "Other specified anomalies of circulatory system" within Chapter 17, "Congenital anomalies."

These codes serve as standardized identifiers for medical conditions and aid in accurate documentation, research, and healthcare management. Physicians, healthcare providers, and insurance companies rely on these codes to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and reimbursement processes.

It is essential to consult a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for precise coding and to obtain the most up-to-date information.
