In simple words: Gyrate atrophy is an inherited eye disease that causes gradual loss of vision due to damage to the back of the eye.

This code specifies a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the choroid and retina, resulting in vision loss.The atrophy pattern is typically described as "gyrate," resembling circular or spiral shapes.

Example 1: A patient presents with progressive night vision loss and peripheral vision impairment.Genetic testing confirms a diagnosis of gyrate atrophy., A young adult with a family history of gyrate atrophy undergoes an ophthalmologic examination, revealing characteristic chorioretinal degeneration., A patient with known gyrate atrophy experiences increasing difficulty with daily activities due to constricted visual fields.

Documentation should include detailed ophthalmological findings, including visual field testing, fundus photography, and results of genetic testing. Family history of similar eye conditions should also be noted.
