Frontonasal Dysplasia is a congenital disorder characterized by abnormal development of the frontonasal region of the face. The ICD-10 code for Frontonasal Dysplasia is Q75.4. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code for this condition was 756.0. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Frontonasal dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by abnormal development of the frontonasal region of the face. It is typically present at birth and can cause a wide range of facial abnormalities, including cleft lip and palate, hypertelorism (increased distance between the eyes), and a flattened nasal bridge.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for frontonasal dysplasia. The ICD-10 code for frontonasal dysplasia is Q75.2. This code falls under the category of "Other congenital malformations of skull and face bones" and provides a specific identifier for healthcare professionals to accurately document and classify this condition.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) did not have a specific code for frontonasal dysplasia. Prior to the implementation of ICD-10, healthcare professionals may have used more general codes to document the specific abnormalities associated with frontonasal dysplasia, such as codes for cleft lip and palate or hypertelorism.
It is important for healthcare professionals to use the appropriate ICD-10 code when diagnosing and treating frontonasal dysplasia. This allows for accurate classification and tracking of the condition, which can aid in research, epidemiological studies, and appropriate reimbursement for healthcare services.
