ICD10 code of Sturge Weber Syndrome and ICD9 code

Sturge Weber Syndrome, also known as encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the presence of vascular abnormalities in the brain, skin, and eyes. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Sturge Weber Syndrome, which is Q85.8. This code falls under the broader category of "Other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified."

On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) utilized a different coding system. The corresponding code for Sturge Weber Syndrome in ICD-9 is 759.6, falling under the category of "Other congenital anomalies of circulatory system." It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, so the ICD-10 coding system is currently in use.

Sturge Weber Syndrome is characterized by a port-wine stain birthmark on the face, typically affecting the forehead and upper eyelid. It is often associated with neurological symptoms, including seizures, intellectual disability, and developmental delays. The condition can also lead to glaucoma and other eye abnormalities. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in optimizing the quality of life for individuals affected by Sturge Weber Syndrome.
