S03: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of head
S03.3: Dislocation of other and unspecified parts of head
Dislocation of other and unspecified parts of the head, as designated by the ICD-10 code S03.3, refers to a medical condition where parts of the head, which can include various bones or structures within the skull, are displaced or not in their proper anatomical location. This can occur due to a variety of causes including accidents, sports injuries, or violent incidents, and it leads to a variety of symptoms depending on the specific location and severity of the dislocation. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, visible deformity, and possibly impaired function of the senses if nerves are affected. Furthermore, if severe enough, this condition could potentially induce other immediate or long-term complications such as brain injury. Immediate professional medical attention is critical in managing this condition, as it involves a vital region of the body.
