Maternal care for face, brow and chin presentation, fetus 2

This code signifies a pregnancy where the fetus is presenting with its face, brow, or chin as the leading part during labor or delivery, specifically for a second fetus in a multiple gestation. This malpresentation can complicate vaginal delivery and often necessitates a cesarean section or other interventions.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a face, brow, or chin presentation for the second fetus in a multiple pregnancy. This diagnosis is typically made during antenatal examinations, labor assessment, or intrapartum ultrasound. Supporting documentation should specify the fetal presentation and confirm it is the second fetus.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "fetus 2" or equivalent for multiple gestations.
• Distinguish this from other fetal malpresentations (e.g., breech, transverse lie) and ensure the specific facial presentation is documented.
• This code is for maternal care; additional codes for the outcome of delivery and any fetal conditions should also be assigned.
