Q: A young lady arrives to the ED. She was on her way home from school and as usual climbed over a fence as a short cut. However today suffered a straddle injury while going over the fence. She has evidence of a large contusion of the vulva. There are no lacerations and there is no vaginal injury.

A: 545610.1; although the injury appears to be a skin contusion, the vulva is part of the abdomen and is coded there. It is also coded to the abdomen for the ISS.
