What is the code for cecal mass?
Based on this definition: "Cecal mass is a space occupying lesion that involves the first part (cecum) of the colon. It can be benign or cancerous," I would code 568.89. This is the code in the alphabetic index under "lesion, colon." The tabular index does not list "lesion" under this code but it doesn't exclude it, either, so based on the alphabetic index, 568.89 should be acceptable.

What does it mean when a babies fontanel is not closed at 2 years?
This could be normal (especially if the baby was a pre-term baby). however, points you need to know are: - Usually the anterior fontanelle closes anytime between 8 to 18 months. - Delay beyond the second year, may be an indication of a bone disroder (like rickets) or due to increased intracranial pressure (mass-occupying lesion or simply hydrocephalus)

What may cause medulla oblongata to be wedged into foramen magnum?
This is called a tonsillar hernation, where the cerebellum is pushed through the foramen magnum. The extra brain trying to pass through the foramen magnum can cause compression of the medulla, which has serious complications (e.g. stop breathing.) This may be due to a space occupying lesion somewhere else in the brain, or in the cerebellum itself. As the brain cannot expand outwards (due to the hard skull) it expands down (and across where possible). Examples of space occupying lesions include haemorrhage, oedema and tumours.
