Wiki ICD-9 for Vitreomacular Traction?

[rizeninme]

I'm looking for a ICD-9 code for Vitreomacular Traction- any thought?

Re: Vitreomacular traction

Here is the problem coding vitreomacular traction; it is a precursor condition that may develop into a macular hole or be evident as degenerative stage of Proliferative diabetic retinopathy otherwise as a "pseudocyst" it may resolve all by itself. The safest diagnosis is “other disorders of vitreous” ICD-9 379.29

I hope this helps.
