Coding Clinic has advised to assign code 759.89, Other specified anomalies, on several occasions for congenital syndromes that are not indexed to a specific code. Also in several instances, the ICD-9-CM index will direct the coder to code 759.89 for some congenital anomalies.
• When there is a code that specifically identifies the anomaly, it is still appropriate to assign codes for manifestations that are not inherent to the anomaly. However, do not assign codes for manifestations that are inherent to the congenital anomaly.
Therefore, even if the physician documents the condition, it may not be possible to code it unless the physician documents the clinical significance of the condition in terms of requiring evaluation, monitoring, treatment, increased nursing care, or increased length of stay ( AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 2012, first quarter, pages 15-16).

Apparently, the ICD teams' intention to include old age in ICD-11 is not to make old age equivalent to disease, but to highlight the pathophysiological vulnerabilities that arises out of ageing.
A 2015 publication by a team of international researchers declares, “It is time to classify biological aging as a disease.” In 2018, the World Health Organization added an extension code in the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases for “ageing-related” diseases, which it defines as those “ ...

Congenital malformation characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis and cleft palate.
A rare congenital malformation characterized by micrognathia, posterior retraction of the tongue, and cleft palate. A rare syndrome that is inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern and caused by mutations in the myh3 gene. It is a severe form of arthrogryposis.
A complex syndrome characterized mainly by aural, oral, and mandibular developmental anomalies which may vary from mild to severe and frequently involve one side of the body . Vertebral anomalies, epibulbar epidermoids, mental retardation, and numerous other anomalies are frequently associated.
20 P. 26. Congenital anomalies, also known as birth defects, may result from pregnancy or birth complications, genetic malformation, or a viral infection in utero. Congenital is defined as a condition that is present at birth but may not show manifestations until later in life. Anomaly is a developmental deformity.
However, do not assign codes for manifestations that are inherent to the congenital anomaly. • Congenital anomaly codes may be used throughout a patient’s life when documented by the physician. If the congenital anomaly has been corrected, assign a personal history code for the anomaly.
