Official ICD-10-CM descriptor (FY2026)

Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of small intestine

Includes

  • congenital obstruction, occlusion or stricture of small intestine or intestine NOS

Excludes1

Not coded here. An Excludes1 code should never be reported at the same time as the code above it.

  • cystic fibrosis with intestinal manifestation (E84.11)
  • meconium ileus NOS (without cystic fibrosis) (P76.0)
