Pulsating exophthalmos, right eye

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where the right eye rhythmically protrudes and retracts in synchronization with the heartbeat or blood vessel pulsations.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm pulsating quality is documented; this indicates vascular involvement unlike intermittent exophthalmos
  • •Often associated with carotid-cavernous fistula; review for related vascular diagnoses
