2025 ICD-10-CM code Q51.1
Doubling of uterus with doubling of cervix and vagina. This condition involves a congenital duplication of both the uterus and cervix.
Medical necessity for interventions related to Q51.1 is determined by the presence of associated symptoms or complications, such as recurrent pregnancy loss, dyspareunia, or menstrual irregularities.Intervention may be necessary to address these issues and improve reproductive outcomes or quality of life.
Diagnosis and management often fall under the purview of gynecologists and/or reproductive endocrinologists.It's crucial for clinicians to accurately document the specific anatomical variations present. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, are typically used to confirm the diagnosis and characterize the extent of the duplication.
In simple words: This condition involves being born with two uteruses and two cervixes.
Doubling of uterus with doubling of cervix and vagina. This is a congenital malformation where both the uterus and cervix are duplicated.It represents a complete duplication of the müllerian ducts.
Example 1: A 25-year-old woman presents with recurrent miscarriages. Imaging reveals a complete doubling of the uterus and cervix (Q51.1).This anatomical anomaly is identified as a contributing factor to her pregnancy losses., A 30-year-old woman undergoes an ultrasound during pregnancy, which shows two separate uterine cavities and cervixes, indicating Q51.1. The pregnancy is closely monitored due to the increased risk of complications like preterm labor or malpresentation., An 18-year-old woman experiences difficulty with tampon insertion and painful intercourse.A gynecological exam reveals two separate cervixes and vaginal canals. Further imaging confirms a diagnosis of Q51.1, doubling of the uterus, cervix, and vagina.
Documentation should include imaging reports (ultrasound, MRI) clearly describing the uterine and cervical anatomy, including the degree of duplication. Clinical findings related to reproductive history (e.g., miscarriages, preterm deliveries) or associated symptoms should also be documented. Any surgical interventions or treatments provided should also be detailed.
** There can be different variations in the presentation of uterine and cervical doubling, including complete or partial duplication.The presence and degree of vaginal duplication can also vary. It's important to distinguish Q51.1 (doubling of both uterus and cervix) from other related conditions, such as Q51.2 (other doubling of uterus) or Q51.5 (agenesis/aplasia of cervix).Using iFrameAI would provide more specific detail and resources about these variations and aid in accurate coding.
