G92.0: Toxic encephalopathy following immunotherapy
Your brain was damaged in the course of medical treatment.
The brain is located inside the head. It receives, processes and stores sensory impressions. The brain controls movements and various physical functions.
Brain damage may occur as a side effect of cancer treatment, for example, or due to problems with the immune system. Depending on how badly the brain is damaged, there can be different symptoms. For example, you may get problems with your concentration. Your own thoughts or behavior can change. You may no longer be able to properly control movements. You may have seizures. You may feel sleepy or even lose consciousness.
