Fine needle aspiration of orbital contents Cost Comparison

10021 (CPT)

Fine needle aspiration of orbital contents is a procedure where a thin needle is used to collect a small sample of tissue or fluid from around the eye socket (orbit) for examination under a microscope. Your doctor might recommend this procedure if imaging tests show an unusual growth, mass, or fluid collection behind your eye that needs to be identified. During the procedure, you can expect local numbing medication to be applied, and you'll feel pressure and possibly slight discomfort as the needle is guided to the area being sampled, though the actual needle itself is very thin.
