| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016 H00.023 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of hordeolum internum right eye, unspecified eyelid. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. An external stye on an eyelid
A hordeolum (stye) is an acute, localized swelling of the eyelid that may be external or internal and usually is a pyogenic (typically staphylococcal) infection or abscess. Most hordeola are external and result from obstruction and infection of an eyelash follicle and adjacent glands of Zeis or Moll glands.
Definition. Hordeola interna are acute purulent infections affecting the meibomian sebacious glands, often caused by staphylococcus infections.
A stye (hordeolum) is a tender red bump on the edge of the eyelid. It is an infection of a gland of the eyelid. The infection is most often caused by bacteria called staph (Staphylococcus aureus). The most common symptoms are redness and swelling of the eyelid.
Treatment includes warm compresses and antibiotic eye drops or ointments. Hordeola can be prevented by keeping the eyelids clean, removing makeup at bedtime, replacing eye makeup every three months, and hand washing before touching the area around the eyes. Do not attempt to squeeze or drain the stye yourself.
Stye is a term used often by the general public to denote a small localized swelling/inflammation of the eyelid. A hordeolum (or a stye) is term used by the medical profession to denote a localized inflammation and/or infection of the hair follicles of the eyelid or the meibomian glands.
A chalazion is a less painful chronic infection on the inside edge of the eyelid (conjunctival side) affecting the Zeis or meibomian (oil-secreting) glands. Styes, or hordeola, are painful infected lesions on the edge of the eyelid (eyelash follicles) that come on quickly and eventually break open and drain.
External Eyelid Stye (Hordeolum Externum)
A hordeolum (ie, stye) is a localized infection or inflammation of the eyelid margin involving hair follicles of the eyelashes (ie, external hordeolum) or meibomian glands (ie, internal hordeolum). A hordeolum usually is painful, erythematous, and localized.
A chalazion is a small firm bulge in the eyelid caused by a blocked opening or infection of the oil producing glands located in the upper or lower eyelids. Chalazia are frequently associated with a condition called blepharitis. Chalazia may be uncomfortable, look abnormal, or interfere with vision.
An internal hordeolum affects the Meibomian (oil) glands within the eyelids whereas an external hordeolum (stye) affects the glands associated with the eyelashes. Both conditions cause red and tender swellings of the eyelid. Traditional remedies such as hot spoon bathing and/or warm compresses may relieve symptoms.
Cephalexin (Keflex) First-generation cephalosporin often used in skin or skin structure infections (eg, acute hordeolum) caused by staphylococci or streptococci.
Traditional Therapy Historically, we were taught that most hordeola are self-limiting, and do not require aggressive therapy. The use of heated compresses, applied for five to 10 minutes several times a day with concurrent digital massage can hasten pointing and subsequent drainage of the abscess.
The ICD code H000 is used to code Stye. An external stye or sty /ˈstaɪ/, also hordeolum /hɔːrˈdiːələm/, is an infection of the sebaceous glands of Zeis at the base of the eyelashes, or an infection of the apocrine sweat glands of Moll. External styes form on the outside of the lids and can be seen as small red bumps.
They also cause a red bump underneath the lid with only generalized redness and swelling visible on the outside.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H00.023 and a single ICD9 code, 373.12 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
