Mechanical entropion of right upper eyelid
ICD-10 H02.021 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of mechanical entropion of right upper eyelid.
Mechanical entropion of the right upper eyelid is characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin, leading to irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea. This condition can arise from various factors, including age-related changes, scarring from previous injuries, or chronic inflammation. The anatomy involved includes the eyelid structures such as the orbicularis oculi muscle, tarsal plate, and the conjunctival surface. Disease progression may lead to symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort, potentially resulting in corneal abrasions or ulcers if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, patient history, and possibly imaging studies to assess underlying causes. Treatment often involves surgical intervention to correct the eyelid position, and understanding the periocular anatomy is crucial for successful outcomes.

H02.021 specifically covers mechanical entropion of the right upper eyelid, which may be caused by factors such as age-related changes, scarring, or other mechanical influences that lead to eyelid inversion.
H02.021 should be used when the condition specifically involves the right upper eyelid and is due to mechanical causes, differentiating it from other forms of entropion or eyelid disorders.
Documentation should include a comprehensive ocular examination, patient history detailing the onset and duration of symptoms, and any previous treatments or interventions related to the eyelid condition.
