Wiki ICD9 Canvernous AV

[mamacase1]

Can someone tell me what ICD9 code you would use for Canvernous AV malformation of the brain - Vascular abnomality of the central nervous sytem?

747.81 is the code for Anomalies of the cerebrovascular system, including AV malformation of the brain. Whenever you see an abnormality/ malformation from birth, you are more than likely going to be looking at "Anomaly" in your Index and a code from the Congenital Anomalies section of your book.
