H47.632

What This Code Means

This code describes vision problems caused by a tumor or cancer affecting the visual processing area on the left side of the brain. The tumor damages the brain tissue responsible for interpreting visual information, leading to vision loss or disturbances.

Coding Tips

• •Always verify the neoplasm is confirmed to be affecting the visual cortex and specify laterality (left side) in documentation before coding
• •This code requires a secondary code to identify the specific neoplasm (C-code) causing the visual cortex disorder; do not use this code alone
