Pars Planitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the peripheral retina. It is characterized by vitritis (inflammation of the gel-like substance in the eye) and snowbanking (deposition of inflammatory cells). The ICD-10 code for Pars Planitis is H30.9, while the ICD-9 code is 363.20. These codes are used for medical billing and documentation purposes to classify and identify the condition.
Pars planitis, also known as intermediate uveitis, is an inflammatory condition that affects the middle part of the eye. It involves inflammation in the area called the pars plana, which is located between the iris and the choroid. This condition can cause symptoms such as floaters, blurred vision, and eye pain.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for pars planitis is H20.1. This code falls under the broader category of "other and unspecified disorders of iris and ciliary body." It is important to note that the ICD-10 system is used worldwide for coding and classifying diseases and health conditions.
In the previous version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for pars planitis was 363.3. This code was used to indicate "chandler syndrome" and "pars planitis" as well. However, it is crucial to mention that the ICD-9 system is no longer in use as it has been replaced by the ICD-10 coding system.
