D. Neurofibromatosis - ✔✔✔-C. Kyphosis
Kyphosis is an exaggerated thoracic (upper back) curvature of the spine, sometimes referred to
as a hunchback. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Curvature/spine - see Dorsopathy,
deforming. Kyphosis/thoracic region is indexed to code M40.204. This code falls under category
code M40 Deforming dorsopathies (M40-M43).

B. Innominate, right subclavian & axillary
C. Left common carotid, left internal carotid
D. Innominate, the right common, and internal carotid - ✔✔✔-D. Innominate, the right
common, and internal carotid
Using Appendix L in your CPT® codebook as a guide for the vascular families, we begin in the
Innominate artery (first order). Then from there you will enter R. (right) common carotid
(second order). Next you will pass through the R. internal carotid (third order) ending up at the
R. a. cerebral artery.
