Spastic entropion of eyelid
ICD-10 H02.04 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of spastic entropion of eyelid.
Spastic entropion of the eyelid is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the eyelid muscles, leading to the inward turning of the eyelid margin. This condition can result in corneal irritation, tearing, and potential damage to the ocular surface due to the eyelashes rubbing against the cornea. The anatomy involved includes the orbicularis oculi muscle, which is responsible for eyelid closure, and the surrounding periocular structures such as the conjunctiva and cornea. Disease progression can vary; if left untreated, spastic entropion may lead to chronic discomfort, recurrent infections, or even vision impairment. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including assessment of eyelid position and function, and may require additional imaging or tests to rule out underlying neurological conditions. Clinicians should also consider the patient's history of eyelid trauma, previous surgeries, or neurological disorders that may contribute to the spasticity of the eyelid muscles.

H02.04 specifically covers spastic entropion, which is caused by involuntary muscle contractions. It may be associated with neurological conditions that affect eyelid function, such as blepharospasm or facial nerve palsy.
H02.04 should be used when the entropion is specifically due to spasticity of the eyelid muscles, distinguishing it from other forms of entropion that may be due to structural issues or aging.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, results from a comprehensive eye examination, and any relevant imaging studies that support the diagnosis of spastic entropion.
