Poisoning by iminostilbenes, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication resulting from a deliberate overdose of iminostilbene-based medications, such as carbamazepine. The initial act of self-poisoning has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic neurological deficits, organ damage, or other persistent sequelae directly attributable to a past intentional iminostilbene overdose. This is used for follow-up care after the acute poisoning episode has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic kidney disease, epilepsy).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional iminostilbene poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for the lasting effects.
