Other multi-suture craniosynostosis
ICD-10 Q75.058 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other multi-suture craniosynostosis.
Other multi-suture craniosynostosis refers to a congenital condition where multiple sutures in an infant's skull fuse prematurely, leading to abnormal head shape and potential intracranial pressure. This condition can affect the growth of the skull and brain, resulting in developmental delays and neurological issues. The specific type of craniosynostosis can vary, and it may be associated with syndromic conditions or occur as an isolated anomaly. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination and imaging studies such as CT scans to assess the extent of suture fusion. Treatment often requires surgical intervention to correct the skull shape and allow for normal brain growth. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to minimize complications and support optimal development.
Detailed growth and developmental assessments, imaging results, and surgical notes.
Infants presenting with abnormal head shape, developmental delays, or increased intracranial pressure.
Ensure comprehensive documentation of all clinical findings and interventions to support coding.
Family history, genetic testing results, and syndromic associations.
Cases where craniosynostosis is part of a genetic syndrome, requiring genetic counseling.
Documenting genetic findings is crucial for accurate coding and understanding the broader implications of the condition.
Used in surgical correction of craniosynostosis.
Surgical notes detailing the procedure and indications.
Pediatric surgical documentation must include pre-operative assessments and post-operative care.
Accurate coding for multi-suture craniosynostosis is crucial for appropriate treatment planning, resource allocation, and tracking outcomes in pediatric patients. It also aids in understanding the potential genetic implications and associated syndromic conditions.
