Symmetrical intrauterine growth restriction

Description

This condition begins earlier in pregnancy and there is a higher incidence of permanent neurologic sequela. It is often associated with either genetic abnormalities or fetal infection, especially 1st trimester viral infections.

Coding note

When both birth weight and gestational age are available, priority of assignment should be given to birth weight.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.

Exclusions from above levels

• 01 – Certain infectious or parasitic diseases - acquired after birth
