Wiki depressed skull DX ?

[pharmon]

I am hunting a icd code for depressed skull @ birth. I'm not finding anything.

738.1X maybe??

not sure if this is consider congential or acquired based on the info you've given though.

that will work. He doesnt state the cause of it, delivery injury or anything about how it got depressed. Thats why I was lost to congential or deformity. Thanks

What about 756.0-a congenital deformity of the skull and/or 754.0-skull depression. These were found under the heading of the underlined words.

Depressed skull (at birth) dx

What about 754.0 ?
Certain congenital musculoskeletal deformities

Hope this helps!

Depresses skull..

I think you can code Dx 754.0 - Congential Musculoskeletal Deformities of skull, face and jaw.

U can find out the depressions in skull under this diagnosis.
