Vascular abnormalities of conjunctiva
ICD-10 H11.41 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of vascular abnormalities of conjunctiva.
H11.41 refers to vascular abnormalities of the conjunctiva, which can manifest as various lesions or growths on the conjunctival surface. These abnormalities may include conjunctival hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, or other vascular malformations that can lead to symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discomfort. The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eyeball 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 cause complications such as bleeding or secondary infections. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough ocular examination, including slit-lamp evaluation, and may require imaging studies to assess the extent of the vascular abnormality. Differential diagnoses include other conjunctival lesions such as papillomas or cysts, making accurate identification essential for appropriate management.

H11.41 encompasses various vascular abnormalities of the conjunctiva, including conjunctival hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, and other vascular malformations. Each condition has distinct clinical features and may require different management strategies.
H11.41 should be used when a specific diagnosis of a vascular abnormality of the conjunctiva is confirmed. It is important to differentiate it from other conjunctival disorders, such as H11.40, which covers non-vascular conditions.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical examination, findings from imaging studies if performed, and a clear treatment plan. Notes should specify the type of vascular abnormality and any associated symptoms.
