Plastic toy entering via natural orifice, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication arising from a plastic toy or toy part having entered a natural body opening. It indicates that the acute event of the foreign body insertion has passed, but its effects, such as scarring, strictures, or chronic inflammation, are still present and being treated.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of a past incident where a plastic toy or toy part was ingested, inhaled, or inserted into an orifice. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing chronic issues directly attributable to the prior foreign body event, rather than the initial acute foreign body removal.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific chronic condition or manifestation.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past foreign body event involving a plastic toy.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute foreign body encounter or removal; use the appropriate acute foreign body code instead.
