Visceroptosis (VA Diagnostic Code 7342)
Understanding This Digestive System Condition
Visceroptosis refers to a downward displacement of the abdominal organs from their normal position. Under the VA rating schedule, this condition is evaluated as part of the Digestive System under Diagnostic Code 7342, specifically when it is symptomatic and marked.
This entry appears in the federal regulations at § 4.114, the section of the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities that addresses the digestive system.
Available Rating Level
The VA recognizes a single rating level for this condition under Diagnostic Code 7342:
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 10% | Visceroptosis, symptomatic, marked |
What the VA Looks For
To assign the 10% rating under this diagnostic code, the VA looks for visceroptosis that is both:
- Symptomatic — the condition produces noticeable symptoms, and
- Marked — the displacement and its effects are pronounced rather than mild or minimal.
This information is based on the VA rating schedule entry for Diagnostic Code 7342 (§ 4.114). It is provided for general educational purposes and describes how the condition is categorized within the rating schedule. Individual rating decisions depend on the specific evidence in each case.
These criteria are a rendering of § 4.114, diagnostic code 7342. The official version is the one that governs your rating.
