An acquired deformity is a change in the normal size or shape of a body part as a result of an injury, infection, arthritis, or tumor.
Cranial defects result either from trauma or after intentional osteocraniotomies or external decompression craniectomies. These defects occur most frequently during wartime, but their incidence during peacetime, as a result of accident or disease, makes knowledge of cranioplasty useful to the interested practitioner.
When a baby spends a lot of time in one position, it can cause the shape of their head to change. This is called a positional skull deformity. For about 20% of babies, a positional skull deformity occurs when they are in the womb or in the birth canal. More often, it happens in the first 4 to 12 weeks of life.

When you look up this code in the Tabular List, you’ll find an instructional note to “Code also” adrenal adenoma (D35.0-).
When you look up this code in the Tabular List, you’ll find the instructional note “Code first underlying neoplasm (C00-D49).”
Coding for a late effect usually requires two codes.
The Alphabetical Index of diagnostic terms (plus their corresponding ICD-10 codes) lists thousands of “main terms” alphabetically. Under each of those main terms, there is often a sublist of more-detailed terms—for instance, “Cataract” has a sublist of 84 terms. However, the Alphabetical Index doesn’t include coding instructions, which are in the Tabular List.
1 implementation of ICD-10, EyeNet is providing an overview of the five-step process for finding ICD-10 codes (see below), along with a series of subspecialty-specific Savvy Coders, starting next month with cataract.
Example. If the diagnosis is primary open-angle glaucoma, severe stage, in the right eye, submit H40.11X3. While some glaucoma codes require you to indicate laterality (using the sixth character), that’s not the case with H40.11. But you are required to indicate staging, which is done with the seventh character, so you need to use X as a placeholder.
Example. The ICD-10 code H40.2232 represents bilateral chronic angle-closure glaucoma, moderate stage. Breaking that down, H40.22 represents chronic angle-closure glaucoma, the 3 in the sixth position indicates that it is bilateral, and the 2 in the seventh position represents that it is moderate stage.
Example. A patient presents with a complaint of pain in the right eye for two hours. A corneal abrasion is diagnosed. The code is S05.01 Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye. That code’s entry in the Tabular List instructs you to add a seventh character—A, D, or S. Since S05.01 is only five characters long, use X as a placeholder in the sixth position. In the seventh position, add A to indicate an initial encounter—S05.01XA. When the patient is seen in follow-up, use code S05.01XD. If the patient develops a recurrent erosion as a result of the abrasion, use code S05.01XS.
It is divided into chapters based on body part or condition. Most ophthalmology codes are in chapter 7 (Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa), but diabetic retinopathy codes are in chapter 4 (Endocrine, Nutritional, and Metabolic Diseases). Order the lists today.
Example. H11.1 Conjunctival degenerations and deposits has an Excludes2 note that lists H11.81 Pseudopterygium. This means that ICD-10 doesn’t include pseudopterygium as part of any condition represented by the H11.1- codes, but it is possible for a patient to have both at the same time—and if that’s the case with your patient, you would submit the relevant H11.1- code along with H11.81.
