The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
Idiopathic progressive neuropathy
Those additional symptoms include:
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is a sudden loss of vision due to an interruption of blood flow to the front (anterior) of the optic nerve, also known as the optic nerve head. The optic nerve's job is to carry visual information from the eye to the brain, which assembles this information into images.
"Optic neuritis is an inflammatory form of optic nerve disease and can be associated with several systemic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, whereas ischemic optic neuropathy is a vascular form of optic nerve disease and is associated with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, thrombotic disorders, and ...
Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (AAION) is an acute, often painful optic neuropathy that occurs predominantly in elderly patients over age 50 but with increasing incidence each decade thereafter and can cause permanent loss of vision.
ICD-10 code H46. 9 for Unspecified optic neuritis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (AION) is a potentially visually devastating disease that occurs in the middle aged and the elderly. This condition is often referred to as a stroke of the optic nerve, and it usually begins suddenly with little warning in one eye, but frequently progresses to the other eye over time.
The most common acute optic neuropathies include ischemic optic neuropathy (ION), optic neuritis and trauma. In patients ages 50 and up, acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most common presentation. AION is divided further into non-arteritic (NAION) and arteritic (AAION).
Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) is a potentially devastating condition characterized by acute, painless vision loss in one or both eyes. PION can be classified into three types: arteritic PION caused by giant cell arteritis, non-arteritic PION, and perioperative PION.
AAION causes a pallid edema that ultimately resolves leaving significant excavation and atrophy of the disc whereas NAION typically exhibits normal or hyperemic edema that resolves leaving relatively preserved disc substance.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI scan uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of your body. During an MRI to check for optic neuritis, you might receive an injection of a contrast solution to make the optic nerve and other parts of your brain more visible on the images.

Causes of Optic NeuritisBacterial infections like Lyme disease.Viral infections like measles and mumps.Autoimmune diseases like sarcoidosis, lupus, and neuromyelitis optica.Medications, including quinine and some antibiotics.
ICD-10 code H57. 10 for Ocular pain, unspecified eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Optic neuritis is an important cause of optic atrophy. It usually occurs in individuals between 10-50 years of age. Patients typically present with sudden, the usually severe visual loss associated with pain on ocular movements.
Ischemic optic neuropathy usually occurs as a sudden segmental loss of vision in one eye, but slow or stepwise progression over several days is possible. Recurrent episodes are unusual except with migraine and some idiopathic cases.
There is no effective treatment for nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy. However, about 40% of people with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy spontaneously recover some useful vision. In this condition, repeat episodes in the same eye are extremely rare.
Bacterial infections, including Lyme disease, cat-scratch fever and syphilis, or viruses, such as measles, mumps and herpes, can cause optic neuritis. Other diseases. Diseases such as sarcoidosis, Behcet's disease and lupus can cause recurrent optic neuritis. Drugs and toxins.
Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is the loss of structure and function of a portion of the optic nerve due to obstruction of blood flow to the nerve (i.e. ischemia). ION is typically classified as either anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or posterior ischemic optic neuropathy according to the part of the optic nerve that is affected.

Diseases of the eye and adnexa. Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by inflammation of the optic nerve. Causes include autoimmune disorders, infections, toxins, drugs, and multiple sclerosis. It may manifest with acute loss of vision and pain.
injury (trauma ) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) A disorder characterized by inflammation of the optic nerve. Causes include autoimmune disorders, infections, toxins, drugs, and multiple sclerosis.
Why: optic neuritis may be present in patients with sarcoidosis or reiter's syndrome ( rarely). How: clinically, patients with optic neuritis present with sudden loss of central vision and pain on moving the eye. Opthalmoscopically there may be hyperemia of the optic disc and distention of the large retinal veins.
