Supravesical fissure of urinary bladder
ICD-10 Q64.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of supravesical fissure of urinary bladder.
Supravesical fissure of the urinary bladder is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a vertical cleft or fissure in the bladder wall, typically located above the bladder neck. This condition can lead to significant urinary dysfunction, including incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections. The fissure may be associated with other congenital anomalies of the urinary system, such as renal agenesis, bladder exstrophy, or posterior urethral valves. Diagnosis is often made through imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, which can reveal the extent of the fissure and any associated abnormalities. Management may involve surgical intervention to repair the fissure and address any functional impairments. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
Pediatric documentation should include growth parameters, developmental milestones, and specific urinary symptoms. Detailed family history may also be relevant.
Common scenarios include infants presenting with urinary incontinence or recurrent UTIs, requiring evaluation for congenital anomalies.
Consideration of age-related anatomical differences and the impact of congenital conditions on growth and development is essential.
Genetic documentation should include family history of congenital anomalies, results of genetic testing, and any syndromic associations.
Scenarios may involve genetic counseling for families with a history of congenital urinary tract malformations.
Understanding the genetic basis of congenital conditions can aid in risk assessment and management strategies.
Used in conjunction with diagnosis of supravesical fissure to assess urinary tract function.
Documentation must include indications for the procedure and findings from the cystoscopy.
Urology specialists should provide detailed reports on findings and interventions.
Accurate coding of Q64.11 is crucial for proper patient management, reimbursement, and tracking of congenital anomalies. It ensures that patients receive appropriate care and that healthcare providers are compensated for their services.
