Q43.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of meckel's diverticulum (displaced) (hypertrophic). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
A Meckel's diverticulum, a true congenital diverticulum, is a slight bulge in the small intestine present at birth and a vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct (also called the vitelline duct or yolk stalk). It is the most common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract and is present in approximately 2% of the population, with males more frequently experiencing symptoms.
