ICD-10 Code A50.30 – Late congenital syphilitic oculopathy, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A50.30 – Late congenital syphilitic oculopathy, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies late eye disease caused by congenital syphilis when the specific ocular manifestation is not documented. Use it for delayed complications affecting the eyes in a patient with congenital syphilis.
Clinical signs
Findings may include vision changes, ocular inflammation, or other late ocular abnormalities linked to congenital syphilis. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents late congenital syphilitic eye involvement but does not specify the exact ocular disorder. It also fits cases where the record confirms congenital syphilis with late oculopathy, yet the detail is insufficient for a more specific code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acquired syphilis, early congenital syphilis, or eye disease with a different documented cause. If the ocular diagnosis is specified, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm that congenital syphilis and late ocular involvement are both documented before assigning A50.30.
