We have had requests for lateralised versions of 31166000 |Episcleritis periodica fugax (disorder)| . However the author managing this request thinks this is now an outdated term and possibly a duplicate of 815008 |Episcleritis (disorder)|. The requester has also suggested the term is outdated but that a synonym is added to the existing non-lateralised and left and right versions.
340861000119109 |Episcleritis of left eye (disorder)|
335251000119100 |Episcleritis of right eye (disorder)|
In ICD-11 and ICD-10 and Episcleritis periodica fugax is still a search/index term on Episcleritis. Can you advise if the term episcleritis periodica fugax is outdated but could be added as a synonym as requested?
