Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss. Swelling around the optic nerve, usually due to pressure on the nerve by a tumor. (pap-il-eh-DEE-ma) Swelling around the optic disk, the area where the optic nerve (the nerve that carries messages from the eye to the brain) enters the eyeball. Papilledema occurs when increased brain pressure caused by tumors or other problems results in swelling of the optic nerve. 377.0 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.00 Papilledema unspecified Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss. (pap-il-eh-DEE-ma) Swelling around the optic disk, the area where the optic nerve (the nerve that carries messages from the eye to the brain) enters the eyeball. Papilledema occurs when increased brain pressure caused by tumors or other problems results in swelling of the optic nerve. Swelling around the optic nerve, usually due to pressure on the nerve by a tumor. 377.00 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.00 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.01 Papilledema associated with increased intracranial pressure 377.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.01 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.02 Papilledema associated with decreased ocular pressure 377.02 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.02 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.03 Papilledema associated with retinal disorder 377.03 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.03 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.04 Foster-kennedy syndrome 377.04 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.04 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.1 Optic atrophy Atrophy of the optic disk which may be congenital or acquired.

The disease has been associated with missense mutations in the mtDNA, in genes for Complex I, III, and IV polypeptides, that can act autonomously or in association with each other to cause the disease. (from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/, MIM#535000 Hereditary conditions that feature progressive visual loss in association with optic atrophy. Relatively common forms include autosomal dominant optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHY, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT) and Leber hereditary optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHY, HEREDITARY, LEBER). Dominant optic atrophy is a hereditary optic neuropathy causing decreased visual acuity, color vision deficits, a centrocecal scotoma, and optic nerve pallor (Hum. Genet. 1998; 102: 79-86). Mutations leading to this condition have been mapped to the OPA1 gene at chromosome 3q28-q29. OPA1 codes for a dynamin-related GTPase that localizes to mitochondria. 377.16 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.16 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.2 Other disorders of optic disc 377.2 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.21 Drusen of optic disc Optic disk bodies composed primarily of acid mucopolysaccharides that may produce pseudopapilledema (elevation of the optic disk without associated INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION) and visual field deficits. Drusen may also occur in the retina (see RETINAL DRUSEN). 377.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.21 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.22 Crater-like holes of optic disc 377.22 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.22 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.23 Coloboma of optic disc 377.23 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.23 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.24 Pseudopapilledema 377.24 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 377.24 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 377.3 Optic neuritis Inflammation of the optic nerve.
