Unspecified noninfective disorders of pinna, left ear
ICD-10 H61.102 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified noninfective disorders of pinna, left ear.
H61.102 refers to unspecified noninfective disorders affecting the pinna of the left ear. These disorders can manifest as deformities, trauma, or other noninfective conditions that do not involve an infectious process. Clinical presentations may include swelling, redness, or abnormal growths on the pinna, which may be due to congenital anomalies, trauma, or other noninfective causes. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical examination, patient history, and possibly imaging studies to rule out other conditions. Management may include conservative measures such as observation, topical treatments, or surgical interventions depending on the severity and nature of the disorder. Accurate coding requires careful documentation of the clinical findings and the specific nature of the disorder, as this code is broad and can encompass a variety of conditions.
