Code Classification

  • Diseases of the eye and adnexa
    (H00–H59)
    • Disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit
      (H00-H05)
      • Other disorders of eyelid
        (H02)

H02.539 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of eyelid retraction unspecified eye, unspecified lid. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like H02.539 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Approximate Synonyms

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:

  • Abnormal retraction of eyelid
  • Abnormal retraction of lower eyelid
  • Abnormal retraction of lower eyelid
  • Abnormal retraction of upper eyelid
  • Ectropion of lower eyelid with retraction
  • Lid lag
  • Myotonia
  • Myotonic warm-up phenomenon
  • Myotonic warm-up phenomenon - lid lag
  • Retraction of eyelid
  • Retraction of lower eyelid
  • Retraction of lower eyelid
  • Retraction of upper eyelid
  • Retraction of upper eyelid not associated with eye movement

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Myotonia

    prolonged failure of muscle relaxation after contraction. this may occur after voluntary contractions, muscle percussion, or electrical stimulation of the muscle. myotonia is a characteristic feature of myotonic disorders.
  • Myotonia Congenita

    inherited myotonic disorders with early childhood onset myotonia. muscular hypertrophy is common and myotonia may impair ambulation and other movements. it is classified as thomsen (autosomal dominant) or becker (autosomal recessive) generalized myotonia mainly based on the inheritance pattern. becker type is also clinically more severe. an autosomal dominant variant with milder symptoms and later onset is known as myotonia levior. mutations in the voltage-dependent skeletal muscle chloride channel are associated with the disorders.
  • Myotonic Disorders

    diseases characterized by myotonia, which may be inherited or acquired. myotonia may be restricted to certain muscles (e.g., intrinsic hand muscles) or occur as a generalized condition.
  • Myotonic Dystrophy

    neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscular atrophy; myotonia, and various multisystem atrophies. mild intellectual disability may also occur. abnormal trinucleotide repeat expansion in the 3' untranslated regions of dmpk protein gene is associated with myotonic dystrophy 1. dna repeat expansion of zinc finger protein-9 gene intron is associated with myotonic dystrophy 2.
  • Osteochondrodysplasias

    abnormal development of cartilage and bone.

Convert H02.539 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 374.41 - Lid retraction or lag
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Eyelid Disorders

Your eyelids help protect your eyes. When you blink, your eyelids spread moisture over your eyes. Blinking also helps move dirt or other particles off the surface of the eye. You close your eyelids when you see something coming toward your eyes. This can help protect against injuries.

Like most other parts of your body, your eyelids can get infected, inflamed, or even develop cancer. There are also specific eyelid problems, including:

  • Eyelids that turn in or out
  • Eyelids that droop
  • Abnormal blinking or twitching

Treatment of eyelid problems depends on the cause.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
