ORPHA:209956Disease
What it is
A rare panuveitis characterized by uni- or bilateral abnormal fluid accumulation within the suprachoroidal space, resulting in internal choroidal elevation, in the absence of any known cause, such as decreased intraocular tension, intraocular tumor, intraocular inflammation or nanophtalmos. Patients typically present a protracted, relapsing-remitting course of visual acuity loss and fundus examination shows annular celio-choroidal detachment and shifting, serous retinal detachment.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
