Spastic hemiplegia affecting right dominant side

This code signifies a form of cerebral palsy or other neurological condition characterized by spasticity (increased muscle tone and stiffness) affecting one side of the body, specifically the right side. The affected right side is also identified as the dominant side for the patient.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of spastic hemiplegia impacting the patient's right side, and the right side is explicitly stated as the dominant side. This is typically seen in conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke sequelae, or other brain injuries.

• Ensure documentation specifies both "right" and "dominant" to accurately assign this code.
• Differentiate from spastic hemiplegia affecting the non-dominant side (G81.12) or unspecified side (G81.10).
• Always sequence this code after the underlying cause of the hemiplegia, if known and still active.
