Cicatricial entropion of left upper eyelid
ICD-10 H02.014 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cicatricial entropion of left upper eyelid.
Cicatricial entropion of the left upper eyelid is a condition characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin due to scarring or fibrosis. This condition often results from previous trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation that leads to the formation of scar tissue. The left upper eyelid is specifically affected, which can cause eyelashes to rub against the cornea, leading to irritation, discomfort, and potential vision impairment. The periocular anatomy involved includes the eyelid skin, conjunctiva, and the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical examination, including a visual acuity test and assessment of eyelid position and movement. Disease progression can lead to complications such as corneal abrasion or ulceration if left untreated. Treatment options may include surgical intervention to correct the eyelid position and alleviate symptoms, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and management to prevent further ocular complications.

H02.014 specifically covers cicatricial entropion of the left upper eyelid, which is caused by scarring. This may include conditions resulting from trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammatory diseases that lead to eyelid malposition.
H02.014 should be used when the diagnosis specifically indicates cicatricial entropion of the left upper eyelid. It is important to differentiate it from other types of entropion, such as involutional or spastic entropion, which have different underlying causes.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the patient's eyelid condition, any previous surgeries or trauma, a comprehensive eye examination, and specific findings related to the cicatricial entropion of the left upper eyelid.
