Information: A central perforation is a perforation in the pars tensa that leaves an intact portion of the tympanic membrane between the rim of the perforation and the bony canal. The fibrous annulus, the tickened portion of the TM near the bony canal, is also intact.
K63. 1 - Perforation of intestine (nontraumatic). ICD-10-CM.
A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear (eardrum). A ruptured eardrum can result in hearing loss. It can also make the middle ear vulnerable to infections.Jan 18, 2022
Attic perforation of the eardrum This is a perforation in the superior part of the eardrum. This is sometimes referred to as an attic perforation. A perforation in this location may be associated with a deep retraction pocket or cholesteatoma into the mastoid.
Perforation of intestine (nontraumatic) K63. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

CSOM was found to be the commonest cause of tympanic membrane perforation in all age groups which is in keeping with previous studies. In this study CSOM was the cause found in 91% of adults with tympanic membrane perforation and the only cause found in children with tympanic membrane perforation.
Tympanic membrane perforation is when there is a tear in the tympanic membrane leading to a connection between the external auditory canal and the middle ear. This can be caused by infection, trauma, or rapid changes in pressure leading to sudden otalgia, otorrhea, tinnitus, and vertigo.Aug 11, 2021
tympanic membrane, also called eardrum, thin layer of tissue in the human ear that receives sound vibrations from the outer air and transmits them to the auditory ossicles, which are tiny bones in the tympanic (middle-ear) cavity.
The pars flaccida region of the tym- panic membrane is that region above the short process of the malleus (see figure 3). Typically, this area is called the attic region and is clean and smooth, with a few blood vessels noted.
When a TM perforation heals, the mucosal and squamous layers reepithelialize, but the fibrous layer won't reform, resulting in a thinner two-layer membrane (paradoxically termed “monomeric”).
In human ear: Middle-ear cavity. The cavity of the middle ear is a narrow air-filled space. A slight constriction divides it into an upper and a lower chamber, the tympanum (tympanic cavity) proper below and the epitympanum above. These chambers are also referred to as the atrium and the attic, respectively.
Perforation of tympanic membrane 1 H72 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM H72 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H72 - other international versions of ICD-10 H72 may differ.
A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments), explosion, loud noise or surgery (accidental creation of a rupture). Flying with a severe cold can also cause perforation due to changes in air pressure and blocked eustachian tubes resulting from the cold. This is especially true on landing.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H72.821 and a single ICD9 code, 384.25 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
