Entering the diagnoses, reviewing findings at necropsy, and notes on the diagnoses. The first field lists the organ (eye) with an anatomy code that is automatically added as the organ or tissue name is written out. The second field on the right enters the disease process (degenerative changes) with an MPATH code that again is automatically coded. The next field is a disease severity code (3). The line below lists the disease name (phthisis bulbi) with a code provided by the pathologist of record. The lower left field provides gross features at the time of necropsy and the blank field to the right provides space for a description or comments on the specific lesions.
