Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA), also known as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability to feel pain and the inability to sweat. This condition is typically present from birth and affects both males and females equally.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for CIPA is Q87.8. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems." It is important to note that the ICD-10 code provides a standardized way for healthcare professionals to document and classify specific medical conditions.
In the previous version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for CIPA was 337.09. This code fell under the category of "Other peripheral neuropathy." However, it is worth mentioning that the ICD-9 code has been replaced by the more comprehensive ICD-10 code, which allows for more specific and detailed classification of diseases and conditions.
It is crucial for healthcare providers to accurately document and code medical conditions like CIPA to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and research. These codes are essential for tracking prevalence, managing healthcare resources, and facilitating communication among healthcare professionals.
