Spastic ectropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H02.143 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of spastic ectropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Spastic ectropion of the right eye, unspecified eyelid, is characterized by the outward turning of the eyelid margin due to involuntary muscle spasms. This condition can lead to exposure of the conjunctiva and cornea, resulting in irritation, dryness, and potential damage to the ocular surface. The eyelid anatomy involved includes the orbicularis oculi muscle, which controls eyelid closure, and the tarsal plate that provides structural support. Disease progression may vary; if left untreated, spastic ectropion can lead to chronic conjunctivitis or corneal ulcers. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, assessment of eyelid function, and possibly imaging studies to evaluate underlying causes such as neurological disorders or trauma. Treatment options may involve addressing the underlying spasticity, surgical correction, or the use of lubricating eye drops to protect the ocular surface.

H02.143 specifically covers spastic ectropion of the right eyelid, which may be caused by neurological disorders, muscle spasms, or trauma. It is essential to differentiate it from other forms of ectropion, such as involutional or cicatricial ectropion.
H02.143 should be used when the spastic ectropion is specifically affecting the right eyelid and is due to involuntary muscle contractions. If the condition affects the left eyelid, H02.142 should be used instead.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the patient's symptoms, results from a comprehensive eye examination, and any relevant imaging studies. Notes should clearly indicate the diagnosis of spastic ectropion and the specific eyelid affected.
