ICD-10 Code H05.222 – Edema of left orbit (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.222 – Edema of left orbit
What it is
H05.222 identifies swelling in the left orbital tissues around the eye. Use it when documentation specifies edema limited to the left orbit.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly noted findings include visible swelling around the left eye and orbital fullness on exam.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents edema of the left orbit, including postoperative or inflammatory swelling limited to that side. It is appropriate when the record clearly identifies the left orbit and does not describe a different orbital disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized facial edema, eyelid swelling only, or right-sided or unspecified orbital edema. Check documentation if the record does not clearly localize the swelling.
Coding tip
Verify laterality carefully; left orbit must be explicitly documented to support H05.222.
