How would you code this? Nocturnal upper airway obstruction with sleep disordered breathing and nasal obstruction. Contributing factors including tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy.

I would think that a code from 327.20-327.29, or 780.57, followed by 474.10 would be more specific, if they're applicable.
