Sequelae of poliomyelitis
ICD-10 B92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sequelae of poliomyelitis.
B92 is the ICD-10-CM code designated for sequelae of poliomyelitis, which refers to the long-term effects and complications that arise following an initial poliovirus infection. Poliomyelitis, commonly known as polio, can lead to various neurological impairments, muscle weakness, and other sequelae that persist long after the acute phase of the illness has resolved. Patients may experience residual paralysis, muscle atrophy, and post-polio syndrome, which can significantly impact their quality of life. The clinical significance of B92 lies in its ability to capture these chronic conditions for appropriate management and treatment planning.

B92 covers various long-term effects of poliomyelitis, including muscle weakness, paralysis, and post-polio syndrome, which may manifest as fatigue, pain, and functional impairments.
B92 should be used when documenting the long-term effects of poliomyelitis in patients who have previously been diagnosed with the condition and are experiencing sequelae that require ongoing management.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history of poliomyelitis, descriptions of the sequelae being treated, and any relevant clinical findings that support the diagnosis.
