Longitudinal vaginal septum, microperforate, right side

📋Clinical Description

This code describes a congenital anomaly of the female reproductive system characterized by a longitudinal septum within the vagina that is not completely patent, specifically located on the right side. The septum partially divides the vaginal canal, and the term "microperforate" indicates a very small opening or openings within the septum.

🎯When to Use

Use this code for patients diagnosed with a right-sided longitudinal vaginal septum that has a microperforation. Documentation should clearly specify the laterality (right), the type of septum (longitudinal), and the presence of a microperforation. This diagnosis is typically made during gynecological examination or imaging studies.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "longitudinal" and not "transverse" for accurate coding.
Confirm the laterality (right) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
Distinguish from Q52.121 (imperforate) or Q52.122 (non-microperforate) based on the septum's patency.
