Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe vomiting, often accompanied by abdominal pain and nausea. The ICD-10 code for cyclic vomiting syndrome is R11.12. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code was 536.2. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this condition.
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe vomiting, often accompanied by nausea and abdominal pain. The ICD-10 code for CVS is R11.12. This code falls under the category of "Nausea and vomiting" (Chapter XVIII: Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified) in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding system.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for CVS is 536.2. This code is found in the section titled "Functional digestive disorders" (Chapter 11: Diseases of the digestive system) in the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) coding system.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, with the aim of providing more specific and detailed codes for various medical conditions. Therefore, healthcare professionals now primarily use the ICD-10 code (R11.12) to accurately identify and document cases of cyclic vomiting syndrome.
