ICD-10 Code H50.41 – Cyclotropia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.41 – Cyclotropia
What it is
Cyclotropia is a form of strabismus in which one eye is rotated around its visual axis, so the image appears tilted. Use this code for a documented cyclotropic eye deviation, not for general misalignment.
Clinical signs
Findings may include an observable torsional deviation, tilted visual perception, or abnormal head posture used to compensate. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H50.41 when the provider documents cyclotropia, torsional strabismus, or a rotated ocular alignment on exam. It may be appropriate when the note describes the condition as congenital, acquired, or intermittent, if cyclotropia is specifically stated. Check documentation for laterality and any associated strabismus terms.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific eye misalignment, diplopia alone, or horizontal/vertical strabismus without torsional rotation. If the record does not clearly identify cyclotropia, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented diagnosis exactly as written and verify whether the note specifies cyclotropia versus another strabismus type.
