Toxic effect of manganese and its compnd, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term, residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with manganese or its compounds. These sequelae can manifest as chronic neurological, psychiatric, or other systemic impairments that persist after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

This code is appropriate for documenting conditions directly attributable to a past intentional self-harm event involving manganese, where the acute toxic effects are no longer present but lasting damage remains. It should be used when the patient is being treated for these chronic complications, not the acute poisoning itself.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific manifestation of the sequela (e.g., Parkinsonism, cognitive deficits).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional manganese poisoning event.
• Do not use this code for acute manganese poisoning or accidental exposures; specific acute and accidental codes exist for those scenarios.
