ICD Code H34.81 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of H34.81 that describes the diagnosis 'central retinal vein occlusion' in more detail.


The ICD code H348 is used to code Central retinal vein occlusion

The central retinal vein is the venous equivalent of the central retinal artery and, like that blood vessel, it can suffer from occlusion (central retinal vein occlusion, also CRVO), similar to that seen in ocular ischemic syndrome. Since the central retinal artery and vein are the sole source of blood supply and drainage for the retina, such occlusion can lead to severe damage to the retina and blindness, due to ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and edema (swelling).

Specialty: Ophthalmology
MeSH Code: D012170
ICD 9 Code: 362.35

Diagram of the eye, retinal vein is number 21.
