Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the fluid-containing cavities or ventricles of the brain. The term hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "cephalus" meaning the head.
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.

ICD-10 code N43. 3 for Hydrocele, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
A spermatocele (SPUR-muh-toe-seel) is an abnormal sac (cyst) that develops in the epididymis — the small, coiled tube located on the upper testicle that collects and transports sperm. Noncancerous and generally painless, a spermatocele usually is filled with milky or clear fluid that might contain sperm.

Head or caput epididymis – It is the broad portion of the epididymis present above the testes posteriorly. It stores the sperms until they are ready for maturation. It is connected to testes by efferent ductules. Body or corpus epididymis – It is the long coiled tube, where sperms mature.
What causes spermatoceles? Spermatoceles happen when sperm builds up somewhere in the epididymis. Healthcare providers don't fully understand the factors that lead to this sperm buildup. Some medical experts point to a blockage in the epididymal duct or inflammation as potential causes.
In addition to the Bottle procedure, the surgeon removed the spermatocele intact from the epididymis without injury. Look in the index under the term Spermatocele. The only indented term under this main term is Excision 54840. The code description identifies this code as “excision of spermatocele, with or without epididymectomy.” Because the spermatocele was performed only on the right side, you also need to assign modifier RT (right side) to the facility code. For the professional component, you must add modifier 51 to indicate that a multiple procedure was performed.
