What This Code Means

Choroidal dystrophy is an inherited disorder affecting the choroid layer of the eye, which can present in different patterns including central areolar (affecting the center), generalized (widespread), or peripapillary (around the optic nerve) forms.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the specific type of choroidal dystrophy (central areolar, generalized, or peripapillary) in the medical record
  • •Ensure laterality is specified separately if the code structure requires it
