Filippi Syndrome, also known as Filippi Syndrome Type 1, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, distinctive facial features, and other associated symptoms. It was first described by Dr. Filippi in 1996. While there is no specific ICD10 code for Filippi Syndrome, the condition can be classified under the broader category of intellectual disability and developmental disorders.
As there is no specific ICD10 code for Filippi Syndrome, healthcare professionals typically assign codes from the F70-F79 range, which covers intellectual disabilities. The most relevant code that may be used to classify Filippi Syndrome is F79 - Unspecified Intellectual Disability.
Similarly, in the previous version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD9), there is no specific code for Filippi Syndrome. However, healthcare providers would typically assign codes from the 317-319 range, which encompasses intellectual disabilities. The most relevant code that may be used to classify Filippi Syndrome in ICD9 is 319 - Unspecified Intellectual Disabilities.
It is important to note that the ICD10 and ICD9 codes mentioned above are not specific to Filippi Syndrome but rather represent broader categories of intellectual disabilities. These codes are used for statistical and billing purposes to classify and track various conditions, including intellectual disabilities, in healthcare settings.
Diagnosing Filippi Syndrome requires a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, and potentially genetic testing. The distinctive facial features and associated symptoms observed in individuals with Filippi Syndrome aid in the diagnosis.
While the ICD10 and ICD9 codes provide a standardized way to classify and document conditions, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of Filippi Syndrome.
