Other conjunctival vascular disorders and cysts
ICD-10 H11.4 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of other conjunctival vascular disorders and cysts.
H11.4 refers to other conjunctival vascular disorders and cysts, which encompass a variety of conditions affecting the conjunctiva, a thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, swelling, irritation, or the presence of cysts. The anatomy involved primarily includes the conjunctiva, but may also extend to adjacent structures like the sclera and cornea. Disease progression can vary; some conditions may be benign and self-limiting, while others could lead to complications if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, patient history, and potentially imaging studies or biopsy to differentiate between various conjunctival lesions. Conditions such as conjunctival cysts, conjunctival hemangiomas, and other vascular malformations fall under this code, necessitating careful evaluation to determine the appropriate management and treatment options.

H11.4 covers conditions such as conjunctival cysts, conjunctival hemangiomas, and other vascular malformations of the conjunctiva. Diagnostic criteria typically include clinical examination findings and may require imaging or biopsy for confirmation.
H11.4 should be used when the condition involves vascular disorders or cysts that do not fit into more specific categories. If the condition is purely a cyst without vascular involvement, H11.3 may be more appropriate.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical examination report, patient history, and any imaging or biopsy results that confirm the diagnosis of a conjunctival vascular disorder or cyst.
