What is the prevalence of Scimitar syndrome?

Scimitar syndrome is characterized by a combination of cardiopulmonary anomalies including partial anomalous pulmonary venous return connection of the right lung to the inferior caval vein leading to the creation of a left-to-right shunt. The prevalence is estimated at between 1/100,000 and 1/33,333 live births.

What is the ICD 10 code for PFO closure?

Objective: Although the ICD-9-CM code 745.5 is widely used to indicate the presence of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), it is also used for patent foramen ovale (PFO) which is a normal variant and for "rule-out" congenital heart disease (CHD). The ICD-10-CM code Q21. 1 perpetuates this issue.

What is superior vena cava syndrome?

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a group of problems caused when blood flow through the superior vena cava (SVC) is slowed down. The SVC is a large vein that drains blood away from the head, neck, arms, and upper chest and into the heart. SVCS is most often seen in people who have cancer.

What is May Thurner Syndrome?

May-Thurner syndrome is a rare vascular disorder in which an artery compresses a vein in your pelvis. This compression can cause symptoms in your left or right leg and foot and may lead to blood clots. At the UPMC Division of Vascular Surgery, we take a team approach to diagnose and treat your condition.

What is heterotaxy syndrome?

Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare birth defect that involves the heart and other organs. The beginning of the word (hetero-) means “different” and the end (–taxy) means “arrangement.” There are different forms of heterotaxy syndrome. All usually involve heart defects of varying types and severity.

What causes heterotaxy syndrome?

Heterotaxy syndrome can be caused by mutations in many different genes. The proteins produced from most of these genes play roles in determining which structures should be on the right side of the body and which should be on the left, a process known as establishing left-right asymmetry.

What is heterotaxy syndrome with polysplenia?

Heterotaxy syndrome with polysplenia is a congenital syndrome that is usually diagnosed in early childhood due to the manifestations of severe cardiac anomalies, which are often part of the syndrome, although cardiac anomalies are less common and complex in polysplenia than in asplenia.

The ICD code Q268 is used to code Scimitar syndrome

Scimitar syndrome, or pulmonary venolobar syndrome, is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by anomalous venous return from the right lung (to the systemic venous drainage, rather than directly to the left atrium). This anomalous pulmonary venous return can be either partial (PAPVR) or total (TAPVR).

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Q26.8 and a single ICD9 code, 747.49 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

Epidemiology

The prevalence is estimated at between 1/100,000 and 1/33,333 live births. Females seem to be more frequently affected than males.

Clinical description

In the majority of cases, the disease manifests in the first months of life. In the neonatal period, the disease presents with congestive cardiac failure, most commonly due to pulmonary hypertension and respiratory distress. The right lung is most frequently involved.

Etiology

The etiology is not completely understood. In several patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous return, the gene locus has been mapped to chromosome 4q12.

Diagnostic methods

The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography, angiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography. The characteristic feature on chest radiographs, giving the condition its name, is a lesion in the shape of a scimitar (a type of curved Turkish sword).

Differential diagnosis

Scimitarsyndrome must be differentiated from pseudoscimitar syndrome (abnormal descending vein draining into the left atrium) and from Kartagener syndrome (see this term).

Antenatal diagnosis

Prenatal diagnosis is feasible by fetal echocardiography. Rarely, Scimitar syndrome is diagnosed incidentally in older children and adults who undergo chest radiography for diverse reasons.
