Acquired atrophy of ovary and fallop, unspecified side

This code describes the pathological reduction in size and function of both the ovary and fallopian tube due to non-congenital causes. This atrophy can result from various factors, leading to diminished reproductive capacity and hormonal imbalance. The unspecified side indicates that the laterality of the affected organs is not documented.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates acquired atrophy affecting both the ovary and fallopian tube, and the medical record does not specify whether the condition is unilateral (left or right) or bilateral. This code is appropriate when the physician's diagnosis explicitly states "acquired atrophy of ovary and fallopian tube, unspecified side" or similar phrasing without laterality.

• Do not use this code if laterality (left, right, or bilateral) is documented; instead, select a more specific code from the N83.33 series.
• Distinguish acquired atrophy from congenital hypoplasia or agenesis, which are coded differently.
• Ensure the documentation specifies involvement of both the ovary and fallopian tube; if only one organ is affected, a different N83.x code may be more appropriate.
