ICD10 code of Holoprosencephaly and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Holoprosencephaly? And the ICD9 code for Holoprosencephaly?
The ICD-10 code for Holoprosencephaly is Q04.2. Holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation characterized by incomplete separation of the cerebral hemispheres. It can result in various neurological and physical abnormalities. The ICD-9 code for Holoprosencephaly is 742.2. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Holoprosencephaly is a congenital brain malformation characterized by incomplete separation of the cerebral hemispheres during embryonic development. In the International Classification of Diseases, the ICD-10 code for holoprosencephaly is Q04.2. This code specifically identifies holoprosencephaly as a midline fusion defect of the brain.
In contrast, the ICD-9 system, which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, provided a different code for holoprosencephaly. Under ICD-9, holoprosencephaly was classified under code 742.2. This code encompassed various congenital anomalies of brain development, including holoprosencephaly.
It is important to note that ICD-10 codes are more detailed and specific compared to ICD-9, allowing for better classification and tracking of medical conditions. These codes are essential for accurate medical record-keeping, epidemiological studies, and billing purposes.
