2025 ICD-10-CM code Q51
Congenital malformations of the uterus and cervix.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of the congenital malformation and any associated symptoms, functional limitations, or complications.
Diagnosis and management of congenital uterine and cervical malformations fall under the purview of gynecologists, obstetricians, and in some instances, pediatric surgeons or urologists.
In simple words: This code represents birth defects involving the uterus and cervix.
This code encompasses various congenital structural abnormalities affecting the uterus and cervix present from birth.
Example 1: A newborn female is diagnosed with uterine didelphys (double uterus)., An adolescent female experiences difficulties with menstruation due to a septate uterus., A woman undergoes imaging studies for infertility, revealing a unicornuate uterus (a uterus with only one horn).
Documentation should include imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI) confirming the specific malformation, relevant clinical findings (e.g., menstrual irregularities, infertility), and any associated anomalies.
** This code excludes inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88) and syndromes associated with anomalies in the number and form of chromosomes (Q90-Q99).
