Spastic ectropion of right upper eyelid
ICD-10 H02.141 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of spastic ectropion of right upper eyelid.
Spastic ectropion of the right upper eyelid is characterized by an outward turning of the eyelid margin due to involuntary muscle contractions, often resulting in exposure of the conjunctiva and cornea. This condition can lead to significant discomfort, tearing, and potential complications such as keratitis or corneal ulceration. The anatomy involved includes the orbicularis oculi muscle, which controls eyelid closure, and the surrounding periocular structures, including the lacrimal glands responsible for tear production. Disease progression may vary; if left untreated, the ectropion can worsen, leading to chronic irritation and damage to the ocular surface. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, assessment of eyelid function, and evaluation of associated conditions such as facial nerve palsy or other neurological disorders that may contribute to spasticity. Treatment options typically involve surgical intervention to correct the eyelid position and restore normal function, alongside addressing any underlying causes.

H02.141 specifically covers spastic ectropion of the right upper eyelid, which may occur due to neurological conditions such as Bell's palsy or other forms of facial nerve dysfunction that lead to muscle spasms.
H02.141 should be used when the condition is specifically identified as spastic ectropion of the right upper eyelid, differentiating it from other eyelid disorders such as involutional ectropion or ectropion of the left eyelid.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical examination, patient history, description of symptoms, and any diagnostic tests performed to assess eyelid function and associated neurological conditions.
