Blocked Tear Duct (Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction) A blocked tear duct occurs when your nasal passageways cannot properly drain tear liquid from your eyes. You may have itchy, irritated or watery eyes. Sometimes, babies are born with blocked tear ducts. A clogged tear duct may heal on its own, or you may need surgery.
Acute dacryocystitis of bilateral lacrimal passages H04. 323 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H04. 323 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Lacrimal duct stenosis is a narrowing of a tear duct (lacrimal duct). It can happen in children and adults. This fact sheet will focus on lacrimal duct stenosis in infants. Lacrimal Duct. The lacrimal duct (in blue) drains tears from the eye down into the nose.
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is a common condition causing excessive tearing or mucoid discharge from the eyes, due to blockage of the nasolacrimal duct system. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction affects as many as 20% children aged <1 year worldwide and is often resolved without surgery.
Dacryocystitis is characterized as an inflammatory state of the nasolacrimal sac. It is typically caused by an obstruction within the nasolacrimal duct and subsequent stagnation of tears in the lacrimal sac.
Infections are usually caused by a blockage in the lacrimal duct that allows bacteria to build up inside the tear sac. An infection that starts suddenly is called acute dacryocystitis. An infection that lasts for a long period of time is called chronic dacryocystitis.
Neonates with an acutely sticky eye and severe amounts of discharge should be referred to the emergency department to exclude ophthalmia neonatorum. IMMEDIATE REFERRAL is indicated. Persistence of nasolacrimal duct obstruction with chronic tearing and discharge beyond 12 months of age – non-urgent referral.
Punctal stenosis is clinically defined as a punctum caliber restricting tear drainage in the absence of distal tear drainage abnormalities, namely canalicular obstruction or nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
For a narrowed punctum, your doctor can use a small probe to widen it. They'll then flush or irrigate the tear duct with a saline solution. This is an outpatient procedure. If an injury caused the blockage, your best approach may be to wait several weeks to see if it heals on its own without any treatment.
The condition is caused by a partial or complete obstruction in the tear drainage system. A blocked tear duct is common in newborns. The condition usually gets better without any treatment during the first year of life. In adults a blocked tear duct may be due to an injury, an infection or rarely, a tumor.
The nasolacrimal duct is a channel that allows tears to drain from the external eye to the nasal cavity. A nasolacrimal duct obstruction is an acquired or congenital obstruction of the drainage system resulting in epiphora or excessive tearing.
Assuming this condition isn't something new, in my opinion, H04.533 would be accurate. Reason being, the guidelines for chapter 16 state "Should a condition originate in the perinatal period, and continue throughout the life of the patient, the perinatal code should continue to be used regardless of the patient’s age."
Question: Depending upon the payer, we receive denials for infants with nasal lacrimal duct obstruction.Is there one ICD-10 code that fits all payers’ requirements? Answer: .Unfortunately not one diagnosis fits all payers. From the Coding Coach, Complete Ophthalmic Reference, consider any/all of the following.. H04.011 Acute dacryoadenitis, right lacrimal gland

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as H04.53. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Tears also keep your eyes moist, which is important for your vision. Tear glands produce tears, and tear ducts carry the tears from the glands to the surface of your eye. Problems with the tear system can include too many tears, too few tears, or problems with the tear ducts. Treatment of the problem depends on the cause.
