Visual snow is a rare condition characterized by the presence of tiny flickering dots or static-like patterns in a person's visual field. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for this condition, which is known as "Persistent Visual Disturbance" or "Visual Snow." The ICD-10 code for Visual Snow is H53.12.
When it comes to the older version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code, it is important to note that Visual Snow does not have a specific code assigned to it. This could be due to the fact that Visual Snow was not well-recognized or understood at the time of ICD-9's publication. However, it is worth mentioning that the ICD-9 code for "Other and unspecified disorders of visual perception" is 368.16. While not specific to Visual Snow, this code may have been used in the past to classify similar visual disturbances.
