Other congenital malformations of uterus
ICD-10 Q51.81 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other congenital malformations of uterus.
Congenital malformations of the uterus encompass a variety of structural abnormalities that can affect reproductive health and function. These malformations may arise from developmental anomalies during embryogenesis, leading to conditions such as uterine agenesis, unicornuate uterus, and septate uterus. The clinical implications of these malformations can vary significantly, ranging from asymptomatic presentations to complications such as infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and obstetric complications. In pediatric patients, early identification and management are crucial, particularly in cases where surgical intervention may be necessary. The diagnosis often involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI to assess the uterine structure and any associated anomalies. Understanding the specific type of malformation is essential for guiding treatment options and counseling families regarding reproductive outcomes.
Detailed growth and development assessments, imaging results, and family history of congenital conditions.
Evaluation of ambiguous genitalia, management of cryptorchidism, and referral for genetic counseling.
Consideration of psychosocial impacts on families and the importance of early intervention.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree analysis, and documentation of chromosomal abnormalities.
Counseling for families with a history of congenital malformations and assessing risk for future pregnancies.
Integration of genetic findings with clinical presentations to guide management.
Used to evaluate uterine malformations in pediatric patients.
Indication for procedure, findings, and any interventions performed.
Pediatric specialists should ensure appropriate consent and understanding of the procedure.
Common congenital malformations include agenesis, unicornuate uterus, septate uterus, and bicornuate uterus. Each condition has unique implications for reproductive health and may require different management strategies.
