Leucocoria, bilateral
ICD-10 H44.533 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of leucocoria, bilateral.
Leucocoria, bilateral is a clinical sign characterized by an abnormal white reflection from the retina, often indicating serious underlying conditions such as retinoblastoma or cataracts. This condition can lead to significant visual impairment if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Patients presenting with leucocoria require thorough ophthalmological evaluation and imaging studies to determine the underlying cause. Management may involve surgical intervention, chemotherapy, or other treatments depending on the diagnosis.
Leucocoria can be caused by various conditions, including cataracts, retinoblastoma, and other retinal disorders.
