Congenital lordosis, sacral and sacrococcygeal region

This code describes a congenital spinal deformity characterized by an exaggerated inward curvature of the lower back, specifically affecting the sacrum and sacrococcygeal region, present at birth. It represents a structural anomaly of the vertebral column in this area, leading to an abnormal posture.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with lordosis of the sacral or sacrococcygeal spine that is explicitly documented as congenital in origin. Documentation should clearly indicate the specific spinal region affected and confirm its presence from birth or due to a developmental anomaly.

• Ensure documentation specifies "congenital" to differentiate from acquired lordosis.
• Verify the affected spinal region is explicitly sacral or sacrococcygeal; avoid using for other spinal segments.
• Consider additional codes for any associated congenital anomalies or neurological deficits.
