ICD-10 code G91. 1 for Obstructive hydrocephalus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T85. 698A became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.
Non-communication (Obstructive) Hydrocephalus: It occurs when the flow of CSF is blocked along one of more of the passages connecting the ventricles, causing enlargement of the pathways upstream of the block and leading to an increase in pressure within the skull.
Hydrocephalus ex-vacuo occurs when a stroke or injury damages the brain and brain matter actually shrinks. The brain may shrink in older patients or those with Alzheimer's disease, and CSF volume increases to fill the extra space. In these instances, the ventricles are enlarged, but the pressure usually is normal.
The presented results suggest that LP shunts reduce the spinal CSF volume, while VP shunts keep the cranial and spinal CSF volume in the physiological range.
To help drain the extra CSF from your brain, a VP shunt will be placed into your head. The VP shunt works by taking the fluid out of your brain and moving it into your abdomen (belly), where it's absorbed by your body. This lowers the pressure and swelling in your brain.
What Is a Shunt? Shunt for HydrocephalusA ventriculoperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to the abdominal cavity.A ventriculoatrial shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to a chamber of the heart.A lumboperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the lower back to the abdominal cavity.
ICD-10 code T85. 698A for Other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Mechanical complications are defined as those that occur as a direct result of technical failure from a procedure or operation. These complications include postoperative hematoma and hemoperitoneum, seroma, wound dehiscence, anastomotic leak, and those related to lines, drains, and retained foreign bodies.
Z48.03ICD-10 code Z48. 03 for Encounter for change or removal of drains is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

Infection and inflammatory reaction due to ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt, sequela 1 T85.730S is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: I/I react d/t ventricular intracranial shunt, sequela 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.730S became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.730S - other international versions of ICD-10 T85.730S may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
A patient with congenital hydrocephalus status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was admitted due to shunt failure. The VP shunt had become free of its connection and had migrated into the abdomen. Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced. An incision was then made in the periauricular area to expose the site of the distal tubing, and cerebrospinal fluid was seen flowing through the disconnected tubing. A tunneler was used, and the distal tubing was brought back to the periauricular incision and tied to the connecter. Please clarify the correct ICD-10-PCS procedure code (s) for laparoscopic retrieval of VP shunt with replacement of the distal catheter. Should the shunt be classified as a drainage device? ...
Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is not classified as a drainage device. The shunt was initially placed to reroute the contents of the cerebral ventricle to another location, and “Bypass” is the appropriate root operation for the initial VP shunt procedure. In ICD-10-PCS, “Drainage” is defined as taking/letting out fluids/gases, whereas “Bypass” is defined as altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
The device value is “ synthetic substitute” because the original root operation for placing the VP shunt is “Bypass,” and the device placed in that root operation and now being revised is classified as a synthetic substitute. The sites of the procedures to revise the shunt are the peritoneal cavity and the subcutaneous tissue of the periauricular area (behind the ear), respectively. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS procedure codes:
The patient underwent a bedside externalization of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt because of recurrent infections. Under conscious sedation, the surgeon incised the skin at the anterior chest wall and the ventriculoperitoneal shunt was externalized and connected to an external drainage system. What is the correct procedure code assignment? ...
