ICD-10 Code H02.154 – Paralytic ectropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.154 – Paralytic ectropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
H02.154 identifies outward turning of the left upper eyelid caused by facial nerve weakness or paralysis. This exposes the inner eyelid surface and can interfere with normal lid closure.
Clinical signs
Common findings include lid eversion, tearing, ocular irritation, and incomplete eyelid closure. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the underlying cause and the affected eyelid.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically documents paralytic ectropion involving the left upper eyelid. It fits cases linked to facial palsy, nerve injury, or other documented paralysis affecting lid position. Code the documented laterality and eyelid exactly as stated.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonparalytic ectropion, lower eyelid ectropion, or unspecified eyelid involvement. Check documentation if the chart only notes eyelid laxity or generic ectropion.
Coding tip
Verify that both paralysis and left upper eyelid laterality are documented before assigning H02.154.
