ICD-10 code G91. 9 for Hydrocephalus, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
A disorder characterized by an abnormal increase of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain.
ICD-10 code: P91. 7 Acquired hydrocephalus of newborn.
If the narrowing is due to a congenital anomaly, this will be considered a congenital hydrocephalus (742.3). However, if it is an acquired stenosis, then assign code 331.4. Code 331.4 also includes acquired hydrocephalus not otherwise specified.
Congenital hydrocephalus is a buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain at birth. The extra fluid can increase pressure in the baby's brain, causing brain damage and mental and physical problems. This condition is rare.
The two major types of hydrocephalus are called communicating hydrocephalus and non-communicating hydrocephalus.Communicating hydrocephalus occurs when the flow of CSF is blocked after it exits the ventricles. ... Congenital hydrocephalus. ... Acquired hydrocephalus.More items...
G91. 1 - Obstructive hydrocephalus | ICD-10-CM.
Q62. 0 - Congenital hydronephrosis | ICD-10-CM.
Abstract. Post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) can be defined as progressive dilation of the ventricular system that develops as a complication of neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Grading systems exist to quantify IVH but not this secondary ventricular dilation.
It is caused by genetic and non-genetic factors. The most common cause of Congenital hydrocephalus are variations in the L1CAM gene, where there is a narrow passageway between the third and fourth ventricles (aqueductal stenosis).

Acquired hydrocephalus occurs after birth when a tumor, injury or disease blocks the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Babies may also be born with hydrocephalus, called congenital hydrocephalus.
What is the life expectancy of a child who has hydrocephalus? Children often have a full life span if hydrocephalus is caught early and treated. Infants who undergo surgical treatment to reduce the excess fluid in the brain and survive to age 1 will not have a shortened life expectancy due to hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus that develops in children and adults (acquired hydrocephalus) is usually the result of an injury or illness. Possible causes of acquired hydrocephalus include: bleeding inside the brain – for example, if blood leaks over the surface of the brain (subarachnoid haemorrhage)
Hydrocephalus Causes The three main causes of hydrocephalus are: A blockage. Tumors, cysts, birth defects, and other objects in the brain can block or affect the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
Hydrocephalus Ex-vacuo: It primarily affects adults and occurs when a degenerative disease, like Alzheimer's disease, stroke or trauma, causes damage to the brain that may cause the brain tissue to shrink.
Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the cranium which may be a congenital or acquired disorder; hydrocephalus ex-vacuo refers to ventricular dilation that occurs as a result of brain substance loss from cerebral infarction and other conditions.
