Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia, cataracts, intellectual disability, and muscle weakness. The ICD-10 code for Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome is Q87.8. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for this syndrome as it was replaced by ICD-10 in 2015. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms including muscle weakness, intellectual disability, short stature, cataracts, and cerebellar ataxia. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome is Q87.1. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems" in the ICD-10 coding system.
In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome was not specifically listed as a distinct condition. However, the symptoms associated with the syndrome could have been coded individually using appropriate ICD-9 codes. For instance, muscular weakness may have been coded as 359.9 (Myopathy, unspecified), intellectual disability as 319 (Unspecified intellectual disabilities), and cataracts as 366.xx (Other cataract).
It is important to note that ICD-10 codes are more detailed and specific compared to ICD-9 codes. The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for better classification and identification of various diseases and conditions, aiding in accurate diagnosis, treatment, and research.
