Miss Helen gave birth to a boy who is diagnosed with spina bifida of the thoracic region with hydrocephalus. What is the appropriate ICD-10 code for the diagnosis in the child?

Q05.0
Q05.1
Q01.0
Q02

Explanation

Answer: B

Q05.1 is the correct code as it is used to code for thoracic spina bifida with hydrocephalus, which is the diagnosis in the baby.

Option A is not correct because Q05.0 is used to specify cervical spina bifida with hydrocephalus. Here, the baby is diagnosed with thoracic spina bifida.

Option C is not correct because Q01.0 is used to specify frontal encephalocele, which is not the diagnosis here.

Option D is not correct because Q02 is used to specify microcephaly, which is not the diagnosis here.
