Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the H31 range.
Choroidal Detachment
A detachment of the choroid from the sclera often due to the accumulation of fluid (blood for hemorrhagic, other fluids for serous detachment) in the suprachoroidal space.
Choroideremia
An X chromosome-linked abnormality characterized by atrophy of the choroid and degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium causing night blindness.
Gyrate Atrophy
Progressive, autosomal recessive, diffuse atrophy of the choroid, pigment epithelium, and sensory retina that begins in childhood.
Solar Retinopathy
Damage to the retina caused by bright light, commonly sunlight.
About the H31 Code Range
These eye conditions involve choroidal scarring, degeneration, inherited disorders, bleeding, rupture, or detachment. The category also includes scars involving both the choroid and retina.
H31.0 groups chorioretinal scars, including macula scars and solar retinopathy. H31.1 separates age-related choroidal atrophy from diffuse secondary atrophy. H31.2 groups inherited choroidal conditions, including choroideremia and gyrate atrophy.
H31.3 separates choroidal hemorrhage from rupture. H31.4 distinguishes hemorrhagic from serous detachment. Other specified and unspecified choroidal disorders have separate categories.
