Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the Q62 range.
Cecoureterocele
A ureterocele in which the orifice is located in the bladder, with the ureterocele pouch extending submucosally into the urethra.
Congenital Hydronephrosis
Collection of urine in the renal pelvis that results in dilatation of the renal pelvis and calyces that is present at birth.
Malposition of Ureter
Orientation of a ureter in an unusual anatomic location.
About the Q62 Code Range
These conditions are present at birth and involve blockage of the renal pelvis or differences in the ureter, both parts of the urinary system.
The subdivisions distinguish ureter blockage, an enlarged ureter, other obstructive defects, and differences in how the ureter forms or sits. Q62.1 separates blockage at the junction with the renal pelvis from blockage at the opening into the bladder or an unspecified location. Q62.3 separates named ureterocele forms from other obstructive defects. Other subdivisions identify an absent or duplicated ureter, backflow involving the bladder, ureter and kidney, and other ureter malformations. Q62.6 divides a misplaced ureter into deviation, displacement, anomalous implantation and other or unspecified malposition.
