ICD10 code of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease and ICD9 code

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHL) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of tumors and cysts in various organs throughout the body. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for VHL, which is Q85.8. This code falls under the broader category of "Other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified."

In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) uses a different coding system. The equivalent code for VHL in ICD-9 is 759.6. This code is classified under "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, and healthcare providers are now required to use the updated ICD-10 coding system. The purpose of these codes is to facilitate accurate and efficient medical record-keeping, billing, and statistical analysis of various diseases and conditions.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease affects multiple organ systems, including the brain, spinal cord, eyes, kidneys, adrenal glands, and pancreas. It can lead to the development of tumors or cysts in these organs, potentially causing various symptoms and complications. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in order to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.
