Pathological processes in the ESOPHAGUS. 530 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.0 Achalasia and cardiospasm A motility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS in which the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER (near the CARDIA) fails to relax resulting in hypermotility, functional obstruction of the esophagus, and DYSPHAGIA. Achalasia is characterized by a grossly contorted and dilated esophagus (megaesophagus). 530.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.0 contains 14 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.1 Esophagitis INFLAMMATION, acute or chronic, of the ESOPHAGUS caused by BACTERIA, chemicals, or TRAUMA. Inflammation of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). INFLAMMATION of the ESOPHAGUS that is caused by the reflux of GASTRIC JUICE with contents of the STOMACH and DUODENUM. 530.1 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.10 Esophagitis unspecified INFLAMMATION, acute or chronic, of the ESOPHAGUS caused by BACTERIA, chemicals, or TRAUMA. Inflammation of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). 530.10 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.10 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.11 Reflux esophagitis INFLAMMATION of the ESOPHAGUS that is caused by the reflux of GASTRIC JUICE with contents of the STOMACH and DUODENUM. 530.11 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.11 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.12 Acute esophagitis 530.12 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.12 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.19 Other esophagitis 530.19 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.19 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.2 Ulcer of esophagus 530.2 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.20 Ulcer of esophagus without bleeding 530.20 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.20 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.21 Ulcer of esophagus with bleeding 530.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.21 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.3 Stricture and stenosis of esophagus 530.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.3 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.4 Perforation of esophagus An opening or hole in the ESOPHAGUS that is caused by TRAUMA, injury, or pathological process. 530.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.4 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.5 Dyskinesia of esophagus Disorders affecting the motor function of the UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; the ESOPHAGUS body, or a combination of these parts. The failure of the sphincters to maintain a tonic pressure may result in gastric reflux of food and acid into the esophagus (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX). Other disorders include hypermotility (spastic disorders) and markedly increased amplitude in contraction (nutcracker esophagus). A hypermotility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS that is characterized by spastic non-peristaltic responses to SWALLOWING; CHEST PAIN; and DYSPHAGIA. 530.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.5 contains 13 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.6 Diverticulum of esophagus acquired 530.6 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.6 contains 18 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.7 Gastroesophageal laceration-hemorrhage syndrome A condition characterized by mucosal tears at the ESOPHAGOGASTRIC JUNCTION, sometimes with HEMATEMESIS. Typically it is caused by forceful bouts of retching or VOMITING. 530.7 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.7 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.8 Other specified disorders of esophagus 530.8 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.81 Esophageal reflux (GAS-tro-eh-sof-a-JEE-al REE-flux diz-EEZ) Also called GERD. A common disorder marked by frequent or severe heartburn. The burning feeling occurs when stomach acid flows up into the esophagus. Retrograde flow of gastric juice (GASTRIC ACID) and/or duodenal contents (BILE ACIDS; PANCREATIC JUICE) into the distal ESOPHAGUS, commonly due to incompetence of the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER. Gastric regurgitation is an extension of this process with retrograde flow into the PHARYNX or MOUTH. 530.81 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.81 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.82 Esophageal hemorrhage 530.82 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.82 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.83 Esophageal leukoplakia 530.83 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.83 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.84 Tracheoesophageal fistula Abnormal passage between the ESOPHAGUS and the TRACHEA, acquired or congenital, often associated with ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA. 530.84 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.84 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.85 Barrett's esophagus A condition with damage to the lining of the lower ESOPHAGUS resulting from chronic acid reflux (ESOPHAGITIS, REFLUX). Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the INTESTINE or the salmon-pink mucosa of the STOMACH. Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to ADENOCARCINOMA of the esophagus. Esophageal segment lined with columnar metaplastic epithelium which is flat or villiform. Barrett's epithelium is characterized by two different types of cells: goblet cells and columnar cells. The symptomatology of Barrett's esophagus is that of gastro-esophageal reflux. It is the precursor of most esophageal adenocarcinomas. (WHO, 2000) -- 2003 A condition in which the cells lining the lower part of the esophagus have changed or been replaced with abnormal cells that could lead to cancer of the esophagus. The backing up of stomach contents (reflux) may irritate the esophagus and, over time, cause Barrett's esophagus. 530.85 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.85 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.86 Infection of esophagostomy 530.86 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.86 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.87 Mechanical complication of esophagostomy 530.87 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.87 contains 18 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.89 Other diseases of esophagus 530.89 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.89 contains 25 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 530.9 Unspecified disorder of esophagus (eh-SOF-a-JEE-al) Having to do with the esophagus, the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach. Pathological processes in the ESOPHAGUS. 530.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 530.9 contains 2 index entries
