ICD10 code of Klippel-Feil Syndrome and ICD9 code

Klippel-Feil Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the fusion or abnormal development of two or more cervical vertebrae in the neck region. This condition can lead to various symptoms, such as restricted neck motion, short neck, low hairline, and sometimes associated abnormalities in other parts of the body.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Klippel-Feil Syndrome is assigned the code Q76.1. This code falls under the "Congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system" category. Q76 refers to "Congenital malformations of spine, not associated with scoliosis," and the .1 extension designates Klippel-Feil Syndrome specifically.

In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Klippel-Feil Syndrome was coded as 756.11. This code was classified under "Other congenital musculoskeletal anomalies" in Chapter 17 of the ICD-9 manual.

It is important to note that the ICD-10 system provides more detailed and specific codes compared to the older ICD-9 system. This allows for better accuracy and improved documentation of various medical conditions, including Klippel-Feil Syndrome.
