G92: Toxic encephalopathy

Toxic encephalopathy is a brain disorder that results from exposure to certain toxic substances. The toxins responsible for this condition can be chemical, organic, or inorganic substances, including heavy metals, industrial chemicals, and even certain medications. This condition does not spread from person to person, but is due to direct contact with or ingestion of harmful substances. Common symptoms could include confusion, memory loss, mood changes, trembling and unsteady movements, headaches, and vision problems. The symptoms might vary in intensity and could worsen with continuous exposure to toxins. Toxic encephalopathy affects the nervous system and typically progression of the disease depends on the level and duration of exposure to the toxin. The severity can range from minor, temporary symptoms to severe, permanent brain damage. It's important to bear in mind that early detection through appropriate medical evaluation can help manage the symptoms better.
