Ectopic pregnancy affecting fetus or newborn

This code signifies a diagnosis in a fetus or newborn where the mother experienced an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the main cavity of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. While the fetus typically does not survive an ectopic pregnancy, this code addresses rare instances where the fetus or newborn is affected by this maternal condition.

Use this code when the medical record explicitly documents a diagnosis in a fetus or newborn that is a direct consequence of the mother's ectopic pregnancy. This might include cases of fetal demise or specific anomalies attributed to the ectopic implantation site. Documentation should clearly link the fetal/newborn condition to the maternal ectopic pregnancy.

• This code is for the fetus or newborn, not the mother.
• Ensure documentation specifies a direct impact on the fetus/newborn due to the ectopic pregnancy.
• Do not use for maternal ectopic pregnancy itself; separate codes exist for the maternal condition.
