M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M95.2: Other acquired deformity of head
Other acquired deformity of the head refers to a health status where the shape or structure of the head has been altered due to conditions or factors that were not present at birth. This condition may be brought about by a variety of causes, including injuries, surgeries, tumors, or diseases that directly affect the skull, skin or soft tissues of the head. Typical symptoms may be noticeable differences in the shape or size of the head, and possibly discomfort or pain depending on the underlying cause. It's important to note that these deformities can occur at any age, after the individual's birth. While some acquired head deformities may have an impact on brain function, many do not and are primarily a physical alteration.
