ICD-10 Code H02.144 – Spastic ectropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.144 – Spastic ectropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
H02.144 identifies spastic ectropion affecting the left upper eyelid. The eyelid turns outward because of muscle spasm, so the lid margin no longer sits normally against the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include outward rolling of the left upper lid, tearing, irritation, and exposure of the ocular surface. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents spastic ectropion specifically of the left upper eyelid. It is appropriate when the laterality and eyelid location are clearly stated in the record. Check documentation if the note only says ectropion without site or side.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of another eyelid, unspecified laterality, or nonspastic eyelid malposition. If the record describes a different eyelid disorder, code the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the upper-lid location before assigning H02.144.
