Marfan syndrome with ocular manifestations
ICD-10 Q87.42 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of marfan syndrome with ocular manifestations.
Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue, leading to a variety of systemic manifestations. In particular, ocular manifestations are common, including lens dislocation (ectopia lentis), myopia, and an increased risk of retinal detachment. Patients with Marfan syndrome may also exhibit other congenital malformations such as skeletal abnormalities, cardiovascular issues, and skin changes. The ocular features can significantly impact the patient's quality of life and require careful monitoring and management. Diagnosis is typically made based on clinical criteria, including family history, physical examination, and genetic testing. The presence of ocular manifestations in Marfan syndrome necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to care, involving pediatricians, ophthalmologists, and geneticists to ensure comprehensive management of the condition and its associated complications.
Detailed growth and development assessments, family history, and physical examination findings.
Routine check-ups for children diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, monitoring for ocular complications.
Pediatric coders should ensure that all manifestations are documented and coded accurately to reflect the complexity of the condition.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree, and detailed clinical evaluations.
Genetic counseling sessions for families with a history of Marfan syndrome, discussing risks and management options.
Genetic coders must ensure that the genetic basis of Marfan syndrome is clearly documented to support the diagnosis.
Used for routine eye exams in patients with Marfan syndrome.
Document visual acuity, ocular health, and any findings related to Marfan syndrome.
Ophthalmologists should be aware of the increased risk of ocular complications in these patients.
Key features include skeletal abnormalities, ocular manifestations, cardiovascular issues, and family history. Documentation should be thorough to support the diagnosis and any associated conditions.
