The ICD-10 code for Poland Syndrome is Q79.8, which falls under the category of "Other congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system." In the ICD-9 coding system, there is no specific code for Poland Syndrome. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Poland Syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by the underdevelopment or absence of chest muscles on one side of the body, often accompanied by webbing of the fingers. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Poland Syndrome is classified under code Q79.89. This code is specifically used for congenital malformations of the musculoskeletal system, not elsewhere classified.
In the ICD-10, Q79.89 is the code assigned to Poland Syndrome, which helps healthcare professionals accurately identify and classify this condition. It is important for medical records and billing purposes, as well as for tracking epidemiological data and conducting research.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Poland Syndrome was not assigned a specific code. However, it would generally be classified under the broader category of "Congenital Anomalies of the Musculoskeletal System" (ICD-9 code range 755-759).
It is worth noting that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in most countries around 2015, as the new classification system offers more detailed and comprehensive codes for various medical conditions.
