Q75.022

Billable

Coronal craniosynostosis, bilateral

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A birth defect where the coronal sutures (seams across the front of the skull) fuse prematurely on both sides, causing the head to be abnormally short and wide.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral coronal synostosis results in brachycephalic (short, wide) head shape
  • •This type often requires earlier surgical intervention due to increased intracranial pressure risk
