Paving stone degeneration of retina, right eye

This code describes a specific type of peripheral retinal degeneration characterized by sharply demarcated, round or oval areas of chorioretinal atrophy, often with visible underlying choroidal vessels. It is typically asymptomatic and non-progressive, representing a benign finding in the right eye.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "paving stone degeneration" or "cobblestone degeneration" of the retina, specifically affecting the right eye. This diagnosis is often made during routine dilated fundus examination.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right eye" to support laterality.
• Do not confuse with other types of peripheral retinal degeneration, such as lattice degeneration (H35.41-) or snail-track degeneration (H35.42-).
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis as paving stone degeneration is often an incidental finding.
