Q10.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of congenital ectropion. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Approximate Synonyms

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

  • Bilateral congenital ectropion
  • Congenital ectropion
  • Congenital iris ectropion
  • Ectropion uveae
  • Ichthyosis, alopecia, eclabion, ectropion, intellectual disability syndrome
  • Lamellar ichthyosis

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • ABCA12 wt Allele|ABC12|ARCI4A|ARCI4B|ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 12 wt Allele|ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A (ABC1), Member 12 Gene|ATP-Binding Cassette, Subfamily A, Member 12 Gene|DKFZP434G232|ICR2B|Ichthyosis Congenita II, Lamellar Ichthyosis B Gene|LI2

    human abca12 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q35 and is approximately 207 kb in length. this allele, which encodes glucosylceramide transporter abca12 protein, plays a role in both the membrane localization of glucosylceramide and other lipids in lamellar granules and in cholesterol transport. mutation of the gene is associated with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (arci) types 4a and 4b (harlequin).
  • Lamellar Ichthyosis

    a very rare, autosomal recessive inherited skin disorder present at birth. it is characterized by the presence of a transparent membrane encasing the newborn. this membrane sheds in about two weeks after birth to reveal generalized scaling and skin erythema.

Present on Admission (POA)

Q10.1 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Convert Q10.1 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 743.62 - Congenital eyelid deform
    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.
