2025 ICD-10-CM code O64.0XX2

Obstructed labor due to incomplete rotation of fetal head, fetus 2.

This code is to be used only on the maternal record, never on the newborn record. An additional code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, should be used to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known.

Medical necessity for intervention is established by the obstructed labor due to the incomplete rotation of the head of the second fetus, posing a risk to both the mother and the unborn child(ren).

In simple words: Difficulty during childbirth with the second baby of a multiple pregnancy because the baby's head isn't turning properly.

Obstructed labor due to incomplete rotation of fetal head, fetus 2. This code is used specifically for the second fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy where labor is obstructed due to the fetal head not rotating completely.

Example 1: A pregnant woman carrying twins experiences obstructed labor during the delivery of the second twin due to incomplete rotation of the fetal head. The first twin was delivered without complications., A woman pregnant with triplets is in labor. The first two babies are delivered, but the third baby's head is not rotating correctly, causing an obstruction of labor. , During labor with quadruplets, the second baby's head fails to rotate completely, leading to obstructed labor. This requires intervention to facilitate delivery.

Documentation should clearly indicate that the obstructed labor is specifically due to the incomplete rotation of the fetal head of the second fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy. The number of fetuses and the gestational age should also be documented.
