ICD10 code of Duane Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Duane Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Duane Syndrome?
Duane Syndrome is a congenital eye movement disorder characterized by limited horizontal eye movement and misalignment of the eyes. The ICD-10 code for Duane Syndrome is H49.3. In the previous coding system, the ICD-9 code for this condition was 378.74. These codes are used for medical documentation and billing purposes to classify and identify specific diagnoses.
Duane Syndrome, also known as Duane retraction syndrome, is a rare eye movement disorder characterized by limited or absent horizontal eye movement, accompanied by retraction or narrowing of the affected eye upon attempted inward movement. It is usually present at birth and can affect one or both eyes.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Duane Syndrome, which is Q10.1. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformations of eye, ear, face and neck." It helps healthcare professionals to accurately identify and categorize this condition for medical record-keeping, billing, and research purposes.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) does not have a specific code for Duane Syndrome. However, it can be classified under broader categories such as "Strabismus and other disorders of binocular eye movements" (ICD-9 code: 378.84) or "Other specified congenital anomalies of eye" (ICD-9 code: 743.63).
