Bilateral high scrotal testes

This code describes a congenital anomaly where both testes are located in a high position within the scrotum, rather than being fully descended. This condition is a form of cryptorchidism, specifically bilateral and within the scrotal sac but not in the expected low position.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates that both testes are palpable within the scrotum but are abnormally high, often requiring surgical intervention for repositioning. This diagnosis is typically made during physical examination in infancy or early childhood.

• Differentiate from undescended testes (cryptorchidism) where the testes are not in the scrotum at all.
• Ensure documentation specifies "bilateral" and "high scrotal" to support this specific code.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated conditions or complications, such as infertility or malignancy risk, if documented.
