Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skin abnormalities, skeletal abnormalities, short stature, and an increased risk of developing cancer. The ICD-10 code for Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome is Q82.8. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for this syndrome as it has been replaced by the ICD-10 coding system.
Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome (RTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of symptoms that affect the skin, bones, and other systems of the body. While I am not a medical professional, I can provide some information regarding the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes associated with this syndrome.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome is classified under Q82.8. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes predominantly affecting facial appearance." It indicates that RTS is a specific genetic condition affecting the facial appearance and other body systems.
On the other hand, in the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome was classified under 756.8. This code falls under the category of "Other musculoskeletal anomalies," which suggests that RTS affects the musculoskeletal system.
It's important to note that these codes are used for medical billing and statistical purposes, aiding healthcare professionals in tracking and documenting various conditions. However, the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome should be undertaken by a qualified healthcare provider. If you suspect you or someone you know may have RTS, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional who can provide a proper assessment and diagnosis.
Please keep in mind that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, I am not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
