In simple words: Inflammation of the choroid and retina in the eye, causing swelling and cloudiness that can affect vision.

Inflammation affecting both the choroid and retina of the eye. The sensory retina becomes edematous and opaque. Inflammatory cells and exudate may burst through the sensory retina and cloud the vitreous body.

Example 1: A patient presents with blurred vision, floaters, and eye pain. Upon examination, the ophthalmologist diagnoses chorioretinal inflammation with an unclear cause, so H30.9 is used., A patient with a history of autoimmune disease develops eye inflammation involving both the choroid and retina. In the absence of a more specific diagnosis, H30.9 is assigned., Following ocular trauma, a patient develops inflammation of the choroid and retina. If the specific cause or type of inflammation is not identified, H30.9 is used.

Complete ophthalmological examination findings, including visual acuity, fundus examination, and any imaging studies performed. Documentation of associated symptoms, medical history, and any suspected underlying causes. If known, document the causative agent (e.g., infection, autoimmune disease).

** H30.9 is a less specific code. More precise codes should be used when a definitive diagnosis is available. Consider using iFrameAI for further code exploration and enhanced accuracy.
