Brow ptosis, right

This code describes the drooping or sagging of the right eyebrow, often due to weakened muscles, nerve damage, or age-related tissue laxity. It can impair peripheral vision and cause a tired or aged appearance.

Use this code when documentation specifically indicates ptosis affecting the right brow. This typically occurs following a clinical examination noting the unilateral brow descent. Supporting documentation should include laterality and the specific anatomical site (brow).

• Differentiate from eyelid ptosis (H02.4x) which involves the upper eyelid margin.
• Ensure documentation specifies "brow" and "right" to support this code.
• Consider underlying causes if documented, such as neurological conditions or trauma, for additional coding.
