Does anyone know if there is actually a dx code for "fluid in the cul-de-sac

Thank you!!!!

Where anatomically? Is there a malignancy? What is the underlying cause?

Sorry about that! Was in a hurry. Should have realized you probably mean pelvic space! I do not know of an ICD-9 for "fluid in the cul-de-sac." You will probably have to go with an unspecified code, maybe 629.89. Unless you can provide more specific detail.

No problem....yes I did mean pelvic area. I keep seeing it pop up alot so I thought I would ask around. Thank you for your response.
