Cicatricial entropion of right upper eyelid
ICD-10 H02.011 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cicatricial entropion of right upper eyelid.
Cicatricial entropion of the right upper eyelid is a condition characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin due to scarring or fibrosis. This condition can lead to irritation, corneal abrasion, and potential vision loss if left untreated. The upper eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscle (orbicularis oculi), and connective tissue, all of which can be affected by cicatricial changes. Common causes of cicatricial entropion include trauma, surgery, or inflammatory conditions that result in scarring. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort, often exacerbated by exposure to environmental irritants. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough ocular examination, including assessment of eyelid position and corneal health. The progression of cicatricial entropion can vary; if the underlying cause is not addressed, the condition may worsen, leading to chronic irritation and complications. Treatment options may include surgical intervention to correct eyelid position and manage underlying scarring, alongside symptomatic relief measures. Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent further ocular complications.

H02.011 specifically covers cicatricial entropion of the right upper eyelid, which is caused by scarring. It is important to differentiate this from other types of entropion, such as involutional or spastic entropion.
H02.011 should be used when the entropion is specifically due to cicatricial changes of the right upper eyelid, as opposed to other forms of entropion which may have different underlying causes.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, clinical examination findings, and any relevant imaging or diagnostic tests that confirm the diagnosis of cicatricial entropion.
