Disseminated chorioretin inflammation, peripheral, bilateral

This code represents an inflammatory condition affecting both the choroid and retina, specifically in the peripheral regions of the eye. It indicates a widespread, non-localized inflammation of these posterior ocular structures.

Use this code when documentation specifies a disseminated chorioretinal inflammation that is clearly located in the peripheral retina and choroid, affecting both eyes. This diagnosis is typically made by an ophthalmologist based on funduscopic examination and imaging.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "disseminated" and "peripheral" involvement in both eyes.
• Distinguish from focal or juxtapapillary chorioretinitis, which have different codes.
• Code any underlying systemic condition causing the inflammation, if known, as a primary diagnosis.
