2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.342 – Enlargement of left orbit

What it is

H05.342 identifies abnormal enlargement of the left orbital cavity. Use it when the left bony eye socket is documented as enlarged, not simply when the eye appears prominent.

Clinical signs

Findings may include visible asymmetry of the left orbit, proptosis, or imaging evidence of increased orbital size. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record specifically states enlargement of the left orbit, such as on exam, CT, or MRI. It may apply in congenital, developmental, or acquired settings if the left side is identified. You should code the documented laterality exactly.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for generic eye protrusion, orbital mass, or swelling without documented orbital enlargement. Check documentation if the note describes a different orbital disorder or laterality.

Coding tip

Confirm that the provider documents the left orbit, not the globe, eyelid, or unspecified orbital abnormality.
