Venous engorgement, right eye

This code signifies an abnormal distention and fullness of the veins within the right eye, often indicative of impaired venous outflow. This engorgement can lead to increased intraocular pressure and other ocular complications.

Use this code when documentation specifically identifies venous engorgement affecting the right eye. Supporting clinical notes may describe dilated, tortuous retinal veins, or other signs of venous congestion localized to the right globe.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from arterial engorgement or other vascular anomalies.
• Code any underlying cause of the venous engorgement, if known and documented, as a primary diagnosis.
