An unresolved issue is whether reconstruction with a local vascularized flap (e.g., nasoseptal flap, middle turbinate flap, lateral nasal wall [inferior turbinate] flap) is separately reported. One option for reporting the added work is to append modifier 22 to the primary procedure code, 62165.
A CSF leak is a condition that occurs when the CSF leaks through a defect in the dura or the skull and out through the nose or ear. A CSF leak results from a hole or tear in the dura, the outermost layer of the meninges. Causes of the hole or tear can include head injury and brain or sinus surgery.
ICD-10 code R09. 82 for Postnasal drip is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
When a CSF leak is in the head, the fluid can drain from the nose or ears, or discharge into the back of the throat. If you have fluid leaking out of your nose, that doesn't always mean you have a CSF leak, said Dr. Corinna Levine, an ear, nose and throat surgeon with the University of Miami Health System.
A pledget test may be used to determine if a cranial CSF leak is occurring by placing small cotton pads (pledgets) in the nose.

The terms "rhinorrhea" and "rhinitis" are often used to refer to a runny nose. Rhinorrhea actually refers to a thin, mostly clear nasal discharge. Rhinitis refers to the inflammation of nasal tissues. Rhinitis often results in a runny nose.
Identifying of CSF leakage Handker chief test: When the discharge from the nose is buried in a handkerchief or dry gauze, the CSF is more likely to be clear if it is not sticky The Handker chief test is a test to determine the nasal discharge, which is unclear and sticky due to mucin secretion from the nose.
When there is a hole in the dura surrounding the brain in addition to damage to the bone around the sinuses, CSF can leak directly into the sinuses. The leak can either drain through the ear or the nose, depending on where the dura is damaged.
Symptoms that depend on CSF leak location In either case, you'll have a runny nose (rhinorrhea) with thin, clear fluid. CSF coming out of your nose has two key differences from nasal mucus: If you wipe your nose with a handkerchief, drying nasal mucus will cause the cloth to stiffen, but CSF won't.
Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea can result from several causes including congenital causes, head trauma, intracranial surgery, destructive lesions or granulomatous diseases. Symptoms include: Headache that worsens when you sit up and improves when you lie down. Metallic taste in the back of the throat.
Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak syndrome (SCSFLS) is a medical condition in which the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) held in and around a human brain and spinal cord leaks out of the surrounding protective sac, the dura, for no apparent reason.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
