John, a 6-year-old, was seen to have a drooping upper left eyelid since his birth. He also complains of impaired vision for the last few weeks. The physician mentioned the diagnosis of his condition as congenital ptosis. What is the correct ICD-10 code for his condition?
  1. Q10.1
  2. Q10.0
  3. Q10.2
  4. Q10.3
Explanation
Answer: B 

Q10.0 is the correct code for this case because it codes for congenital ptosis. Since the drooping is present since birth, it represents congenital ptosis. 

Option A is not correct because Q10.1 is used to code for congenital ectropion which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option C is not correct because Q10.2 is used to code for congenital entropion which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option D is not correct because Q10.3 is used to code for other congenital malformations of eyelid which is not the diagnosis here.
