Spastic entropion of left lower eyelid
ICD-10 H02.045 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of spastic entropion of left lower eyelid.
Spastic entropion of the left lower eyelid is a condition characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin, leading to irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea. This condition often results from muscle spasms or neurological disorders affecting the orbicularis oculi muscle, which controls eyelid movement. The left lower eyelid's anatomy includes skin, muscle, and connective tissue, all of which can be affected by spastic entropion. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort, often exacerbated by blinking or exposure to wind. Disease progression can lead to chronic irritation, corneal abrasions, and potential vision impairment if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, assessment of eyelid position, and evaluation for underlying neurological conditions. Treatment may involve botulinum toxin injections to alleviate muscle spasms, surgical correction, or other interventions aimed at restoring normal eyelid function and protecting the ocular surface.

H02.045 specifically covers spastic entropion of the left lower eyelid, which may be associated with neurological disorders, muscle spasms, or other ocular conditions that lead to eyelid malposition.
H02.045 should be used when the diagnosis specifically involves spastic entropion of the left lower eyelid, differentiating it from other forms of entropion or eyelid malposition that may not involve spasticity.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical assessment of the eyelid position, symptoms experienced by the patient, any neurological evaluations performed, and treatment plans that have been considered or implemented.
