It belongs to category S24 (injury of nerves and spinal cord at thorax level), block S20-S29 (injuries to the thorax) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
