Classic scleritis, on the other hand, affects deeper tissue and is characterized by higher rates of visual acuity loss and even mortality, particularly in necrotizing form. Its characteristic symptom is severe and general head pain. Scleritis has also been associated with systemic collagen disease. Etiology is unknown but is thought to involve a local immune response. Treatment is difficult and includes administration of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents such as corticosteroids. Inflammation of the sclera may also be secondary to inflammation of adjacent tissues, such as the conjunctiva. 379.00 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.00 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.01 Episcleritis periodica fugax 379.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.01 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.02 Nodular episcleritis 379.02 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.02 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.03 Anterior scleritis 379.03 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.03 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.04 Scleromalacia perforans 379.04 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.04 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.05 Scleritis with corneal involvement 379.05 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.05 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.06 Brawny scleritis 379.06 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.06 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.07 Posterior scleritis 379.07 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.07 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.09 Other scleritis 379.09 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.09 contains 13 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.1 Other disorders of sclera 379.1 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.11 Scleral ectasia 379.11 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.11 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.12 Staphyloma posticum 379.12 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.12 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.13 Equatorial staphyloma 379.13 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.13 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.14 Anterior staphyloma localized 379.14 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.14 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.15 Ring staphyloma 379.15 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.15 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.16 Other degenerative disorders of sclera 379.16 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.16 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.19 Other scleral disorders 379.19 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.19 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.2 Disorders of vitreous body 379.2 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.21 Vitreous degeneration Detachment of the corpus vitreum (VITREOUS BODY) from its normal attachments, especially the retina, due to shrinkage from degenerative or inflammatory conditions, trauma, myopia, or senility. 379.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.21 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.22 Crystalline deposits in vitreous 379.22 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.22 contains 12 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.23 Vitreous hemorrhage Hemorrhage into the VITREOUS BODY. 379.23 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.23 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.24 Other vitreous opacities Floaters; spots before the eyes caused by opaque cell fragments in the vitreous humor or lens. 379.24 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.24 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.25 Vitreous membranes and strands 379.25 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.25 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.26 Vitreous prolapse 379.26 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.26 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.29 Other disorders of vitreous 379.29 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.29 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.3 Aphakia and other disorders of lens 379.3 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.31 Aphakia Absence of crystalline lens totally or partially from field of vision, from any cause except after cataract extraction.

This condition is associated with injury to the postganglionic parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. (From Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, pp492-500) A syndrome characterized by a TONIC PUPIL that occurs in combination with decreased lower extremity reflexes. The affected pupil will respond more briskly to accommodation than to light (light-near dissociation) and is supersensitive to dilute pilocarpine eye drops, which induce pupillary constriction. Pathologic features include degeneration of the ciliary ganglion and postganglionic parasympathetic fibers that innervate the pupillary constrictor muscle. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p279) 379.46 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.46 contains 11 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.49 Other anomalies of pupillary function 379.49 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.49 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.5 Nystagmus and other irregular eye movements 379.5 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.50 Nystagmus unspecified Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p272) Involuntary movements of the eyeballs. The presence or absence of nystagmus is often used in the diagnosis of a variety of neurological and visual disorders. 379.50 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 379.50 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 379.51 Congenital nystagmus Nystagmus present at birth or caused by lesions sustained in utero or at the time of birth. It is usually pendular, and is associated with ALBINISM and conditions characterized by early loss of central vision. Inheritance patterns may be X-linked, autosomal dominant, or recessive.
