Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to Q75.00.
- Craniosynostosis NOS
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Q75
The conditions below can never be reported together with Q75.00 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformation of face NOS (Q18.-)
- congenital malformation syndromes classified to Q87.-
- dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)
- musculoskeletal deformities of head and face (Q67.0-Q67.4)

- anencephaly (Q00.0)
- encephalocele (Q01.-)
- hydrocephalus (Q03.-)
- microcephaly (Q02)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17
The conditions below are not part of Q75.00, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q75.00 and the excluded code may both be reported.
