Jackson-Weiss Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by foot abnormalities and craniofacial malformations. The ICD-10 code for Jackson-Weiss Syndrome is Q87.1. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for this syndrome as it was replaced by the ICD-10 coding system. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical management.
Jackson-Weiss Syndrome, also known as JWS, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by craniosynostosis (premature fusion of skull bones) and foot abnormalities. While I am not a medical professional, I can provide some information on the coding for this syndrome. In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the code for Jackson-Weiss Syndrome is Q87.1. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformation syndromes predominantly associated with short stature," which encompasses various genetic conditions with skeletal abnormalities.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for Jackson-Weiss Syndrome is 756.0. Under ICD-9, this code falls under the broader category of "Anomalies of the skull and face bones." It is important to note that the ICD-9 code system was replaced by ICD-10 in October 2015 to provide a more detailed and comprehensive classification of diseases and disorders.
It is always advisable to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate and up-to-date coding information.
