Vascular abnormalities of conjunctiva, right eye
ICD-10 H11.411 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of vascular abnormalities of conjunctiva, right eye.
H11.411 refers to vascular abnormalities of the conjunctiva in the right eye, which can manifest as a variety of conditions including conjunctival hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, or other vascular malformations. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, swelling, or irritation of the conjunctiva, and in some cases, visual disturbances may occur if the vascular abnormality affects adjacent structures. The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids, playing a crucial role in protecting the eye and maintaining moisture. Disease progression can vary; some vascular lesions may remain stable, while others can grow or lead to complications such as bleeding or infection. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI, and possibly biopsy to confirm the nature of the vascular abnormality. Accurate diagnosis is essential for determining the appropriate management and treatment options, which may include observation, laser therapy, or surgical intervention depending on the severity and symptoms presented.

H11.411 encompasses various vascular abnormalities of the conjunctiva, including conjunctival hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, and other vascular malformations that may present with symptoms such as redness, swelling, or irritation.
H11.411 should be used specifically when documenting vascular abnormalities of the conjunctiva in the right eye. If the condition affects the left eye or is bilateral, other codes such as H11.410 or H11.412 should be considered.
Documentation for H11.411 should include a detailed ocular examination report, imaging studies (if performed), and clinical notes that describe the nature of the vascular abnormality, its symptoms, and any treatment provided.
