ICD-10 Code H57.812 – Brow ptosis, left (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H57.812 – Brow ptosis, left
What it is
H57.812 identifies drooping of the left eyebrow. It means the brow sits lower than normal and may rest on or near the upper eyelid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a visibly lowered left brow and possible heaviness over the upper eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents brow ptosis affecting the left side. It fits office notes, specialist assessments, or surgical evaluations that clearly specify laterality. If the record only says “brow ptosis” without side, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for upper eyelid ptosis or unspecified brow ptosis. If the note describes a different eyelid disorder, choose the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Always confirm laterality in the assessment or diagnosis line before assigning H57.812.
