What are congenital aural atresia and microtia? Congenital aural atresia is a common condition. It happens when the ear canal does not develop normally. Atresia can be in one ear (unilateral) or both (bilateral). It is often part of microtia, a condition when the outside of the ear (pinna) does not form correctly.
Aural atresia is the absence of a patent ear canal that may be acquired or congenital. To preserve hearing and allow normal speech and language development the congenital disease, prompt diagnosis and treatment are required.
20: Congenital auditory imperception.
Aural atresia occurs in 1 in 10,000 live births. It is more common in boys. It more commonly only effects one ear. Although the exact cause is not known, when the fetus is developing something causes the ear to stop growing before it is complete.
Congenital atresia is the maldevelopment or non-development of the ear canal. It can either occur on its own or along with other abnormalities involving the head and neck. It most commonly occurs on one side, but can occur on both sides.
Aural atresia is the absence of the ear canal. The outer ear and ear canal develop at the same time, which means that microtia and atresia are commonly found together. This causes a hearing loss (what is called a “maximal conductive loss”) because the sound waves cannot get through to the eardrum/inner ear.
ICD-10 code: H90. 3 Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral.
F88: Other disorders of psychological development.
ICD-10 code H93. 25 for Central auditory processing disorder is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the ear and mastoid process .
Diagnosing Microtia and Aural Atresia If your child is born with small or missing ears, the doctor will look for problems with their ear canal and check your baby's hearing. The doctor will check your child's other ear for problems.
Microtia and Atresia are congenital birth defects of the ear. Microtia is when the outer ear does not fully develop during the first trimester of pregnancy or when the outer ear is absent, (known as anotia). Atresia is the absence of the ear canal, resulting in hearing loss.
Atresia treatment Atresia is a condition in which a child is born without an ear canal. Atresia can be treated with surgery.
The ICD-10 is also used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
ICD-10 was implemented on October 1, 2015, replacing the 9th revision of ICD (ICD-9).
The ICD-10-CM has two types of excludes notes. Each note has a different definition for use but they are both similar in that they indicate that codes excluded from each other are independent of each other.
Audiologists practicing in a health care setting, especially a hospital, may have to code diseases and diagnoses according to the ICD-10. Payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers, also require audiologists to report ICD-10 codes on health care claims for payment.
