Disseminated chorioretin inflammation, generalized, unsp eye

This code describes a widespread inflammatory condition affecting both the choroid and retina of the eye, without a more specific localized pattern. It indicates a generalized inflammation of these posterior ocular structures, where the specific cause or type of inflammation is not documented.

Use this code when documentation indicates a diffuse or generalized chorioretinal inflammation affecting an unspecified eye, and the specific etiology (e.g., infectious, autoimmune) is unknown or not specified. This code is appropriate when the inflammation is not confined to a particular area or quadrant of the fundus.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "generalized" or "disseminated" inflammation of both the choroid and retina.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific anatomical location (e.g., macular, juxtapapillary) or laterality (right/left eye) is documented.
• Always look for additional codes to specify the underlying cause of the inflammation if known (e.g., infectious agent).
