Serous choroidal detachment, right eye

This code signifies a condition where fluid accumulates between the choroid and the sclera in the right eye, causing a separation of these layers. This serous fluid collection can lead to visual disturbances and is often associated with hypotony or inflammatory conditions.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of serous choroidal detachment affecting the right eye. This condition is typically identified through ophthalmoscopy, B-scan ultrasonography, or optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented (right, left, or bilateral) to select the most specific code.
• Distinguish from hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, which involves blood rather than serous fluid.
• Code any underlying cause, such as hypotony or inflammation, as an additional diagnosis.
