ICD-11

Any other condition characterised by findings in the fetus or newborn due to any condition of the mother due to an adverse evolution (complication) which may arise associated with the time period from conception through childbirth.

These codes are for use when the listed maternal conditions are specified as the cause of confirmed morbidity or potential morbidity which have their origin in the perinatal period (before birth through the first 28 days after birth). Use additional code to identify the condition in the fetus or newborn.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy begins outside of the uterus. The most common site is within one of the fallopian tubes, although in rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the stomach region, cervix, or ovary. It is often caused by a condition that slows or blocks the movement of a fertilised egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies cannot continue to term and the developing cells must be removed to prevent rupture of the ectopic area, which can lead to shock and danger the life of the mother.
