G97: Postprocedural disorders of nervous system, not elsewhere classified

Postprocedural disorders of the nervous system refers to a group of conditions that occur after medical procedures involving the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These disorders can result from a variety of causes, such as reaction to anesthetic or surgical complications. Symptoms vary widely depending on the affected area of the nervous system but might include headaches, numbness, weakness, changes in sensation, or problems with coordination or balance. The progression of these disorders, again, largely depends on the type and severity of the condition as well as the specific nervous system area affected. Though these disorders are not communicable diseases and thus are not transmitted from person to person, it’s important to note that they are directly linked to medical procedures involving the nervous system. The potential for these disorders underscores the importance of thorough preoperative evaluations and precise surgical techniques.
