Vogt-Koyanagi syndrome, right eye

This code signifies Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome affecting the right eye. VKH is a rare, multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic, bilateral panuveitis with associated neurological, auditory, and integumentary manifestations. The ocular involvement typically presents as granulomatous inflammation of the uvea.

Assign this code when documentation specifies a diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi syndrome with confirmed involvement of the right eye. This code is appropriate when the ophthalmologist or other treating physician explicitly states the diagnosis and laterality.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right eye" involvement for accurate laterality coding.
• Consider additional codes for associated neurological (e.g., meningitis), auditory (e.g., hearing loss), or integumentary (e.g., poliosis, vitiligo) manifestations of VKH syndrome.
• Distinguish from other forms of uveitis; VKH is a specific autoimmune condition.
