Linear skull fracture due to birth injury

Description

Linear fractures of skull bones resulting from injury during birth, including those related to forceps and vacuum assisted delivery.

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.
