In simple words: This code describes a birth defect where the uterus (the womb) is only partially doubled. Instead of one womb, there are two partially separated parts. This can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant and carry a baby to term.

Q51.22, Partial doubling of the uterus, is an ICD-10-CM code that classifies a congenital anomaly characterized by incomplete duplication of the uterine structure.This condition involves a partial division of the uterus, resulting in two uterine horns that are not entirely separated.It is a subset of Müllerian duct anomalies, which are developmental malformations of the female reproductive tract.The degree of uterine duplication varies, influencing fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, or hysterosalpingography.

Example 1: A 28-year-old woman presents with recurrent miscarriages.Ultrasound reveals a partial doubling of the uterus. Q51.22 is used to code this finding., A 35-year-old woman undergoes infertility evaluation.MRI imaging demonstrates a partial septate uterus.Q51.22 is used to code this condition., During a routine pelvic exam, a 25-year-old woman is found to have an unusual uterine shape.Hysterosalpingography confirms the presence of a partial uterine duplication, coded as Q51.22.

Detailed clinical history, including pregnancy history (if any) with specific details of past pregnancies, including dates of conception, gestational age at loss/delivery, and pregnancy complications.Imaging reports (ultrasound, MRI, hysterosalpingography) with clear description of the uterine anatomy.Physician's notes documenting the diagnosis and clinical rationale.

** This code is used for diagnosis only and is not used for procedural coding. It is crucial to differentiate Q51.22 from other uterine anomalies.Review all relevant documentation for complete and accurate coding.
