About ICD-9-CM 997.01
997.01 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for central nervous system complication. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as G97.81 (Other intraoperative complications of nervous system) and G97.82 (Other postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
