Dissem chorioretin inflammation, generalized, bilateral

This code signifies a widespread inflammatory condition affecting both the choroid and retina across the entire posterior segment of both eyes. It indicates a non-localized, diffuse inflammation of these ocular structures, impacting vision bilaterally.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states "disseminated chorioretinal inflammation" affecting both eyes, with a generalized or widespread presentation. Supporting clinical notes should describe diffuse inflammation of the choroid and retina, often with associated visual disturbances, and explicitly mention bilateral involvement.

• Ensure documentation specifies "generalized" or "disseminated" to differentiate from focal or multifocal chorioretinitis.
• Verify bilateral involvement; separate codes exist for unilateral presentations.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying systemic condition causing the inflammation, if known and documented.
