Cicatricial entropion of eyelid
ICD-10 H02.01 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of cicatricial entropion of eyelid.
Cicatricial entropion of the eyelid is a condition characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin due to scarring or fibrosis of the eyelid tissue. This condition can lead to irritation of the cornea and conjunctiva, resulting in symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort. The eyelid anatomy involved includes the skin, muscle, and connective tissue, which, when altered by scarring, can cause the eyelid to fold inward. Cicatricial entropion may result from various causes, including trauma, surgery, or inflammatory conditions such as herpes zoster or chronic blepharitis. Disease progression can lead to significant ocular surface damage if left untreated, potentially resulting in corneal ulcers or vision loss. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough ocular examination, including assessment of eyelid position and function, and may require imaging studies to evaluate the extent of scarring. Treatment options include surgical correction to reposition the eyelid, and addressing the underlying cause of the scarring is crucial for preventing recurrence.

H02.01 specifically covers cicatricial entropion, which is caused by scarring of the eyelid. This includes conditions resulting from trauma, surgery, or inflammatory diseases that lead to eyelid malposition.
H02.01 should be used when the entropion is specifically due to cicatricial changes. If the entropion is due to other causes, such as age-related changes or muscle weakness, other codes should be selected.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the eyelid condition, clinical findings from the examination, and any imaging studies performed. Notes should clearly indicate the cicatricial nature of the entropion.
