In simple words: This code describes a pregnancy that doesn't develop correctly and isn't viable. This can include an empty gestational sac, a fleshy mass instead of a baby, or other similar situations. Other codes might be used to describe any complications that occur.
O02.0, Blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole, encompasses various conditions where the pregnancy does not develop normally, resulting in a non-viable pregnancy.This includes conditions such as a blighted ovum (an empty gestational sac without an embryo), a carneous mole (a fleshy mass), and other non-hydatidiform molar pregnancies.Additional codes from category O08 may be used to specify associated complications.
Example 1: A 35-year-old woman presents for a routine ultrasound at 8 weeks gestation.The ultrasound reveals an empty gestational sac (blighted ovum)., A 28-year-old woman experiences vaginal bleeding and cramping.Ultrasound shows a non-viable pregnancy with a carneous mole., A 40-year-old woman has a miscarriage at 10 weeks gestation. Pathology reveals an abnormal product of conception consistent with a non-hydatidiform mole.
Detailed obstetrical history, including menstrual cycles and dates of last menstrual period. Ultrasound images showing the gestational sac and/or the abnormal product of conception.Pathology report if surgical removal or tissue sampling was performed.Any other relevant clinical notes detailing symptoms, medications, and patient’s overall health.
