About the H68 Code Range
Eustachian salpingitis means inflammation of the Eustachian tube. This category also includes obstruction, or blockage, of that tube.
H68.0 separates unspecified, acute, and chronic inflammation. H68.1 separates unspecified obstruction from bone-related and intrinsic or extrinsic cartilage-related obstruction. Each branch then identifies the right ear, left ear, both ears, or an unspecified ear.
