Cyst of ora serrata, right eye

This code describes a fluid-filled sac or lesion located specifically at the ora serrata of the right eye. The ora serrata is the jagged anterior termination of the retina, where the retina joins the ciliary body. These cysts are typically benign and often asymptomatic.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates the presence of a cyst at the ora serrata in the patient's right eye, often identified during a dilated fundus examination. This diagnosis is typically supported by ophthalmological examination findings, such as indirect ophthalmoscopy or optical coherence tomography (OCT).

• Ensure laterality is precisely documented (right, left, or bilateral) as separate codes exist for each.
• Differentiate from other retinal cysts or detachments; this code is specific to the ora serrata.
• Do not use for cysts of the pars plana or ciliary body unless they are explicitly described as originating from the ora serrata.
