Unspecified ectropion of right upper eyelid
ICD-10 H02.101 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified ectropion of right upper eyelid.
Unspecified ectropion of the right upper eyelid is a condition characterized by the outward turning of the eyelid margin, which can lead to exposure of the conjunctiva and cornea. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as irritation, tearing, and redness due to the exposure of the eye surface. The anatomy involved includes the eyelid structures, such as the orbicularis oculi muscle, tarsal plate, and skin, as well as the surrounding periocular tissues. Ectropion can be caused by various factors, including aging, scarring, or neurological conditions. Disease progression may lead to chronic irritation and potential complications like keratitis or conjunctivitis if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, assessment of eyelid function, and evaluation of any underlying conditions that may contribute to the ectropion. Treatment options may vary based on the severity and underlying cause, ranging from conservative management to surgical intervention.

H02.101 specifically covers unspecified ectropion of the right upper eyelid. It may encompass various underlying causes, including age-related changes, scarring, or neurological disorders that lead to eyelid laxity.
H02.101 should be used when the ectropion is specifically affecting the right upper eyelid and when the cause is not clearly defined. If the condition is bilateral or affects a different eyelid, other codes should be considered.
Documentation should include a comprehensive ocular examination, patient history detailing symptoms, and any relevant imaging or diagnostic tests that support the diagnosis of ectropion.
