Oth parlyt syndrome fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff left dom side

This code indicates a residual neurological deficit characterized by paralysis or paresis, not due to trauma, that occurred as a consequence of a prior intracerebral hemorrhage. The paralysis specifically affects the left side of the body, and the patient is documented as left-dominant.

Apply this code when a patient presents with ongoing paralytic symptoms on their left dominant side, and the medical record clearly links these symptoms to a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Documentation should specify the laterality of the paralysis and the patient's handedness.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to differentiate from hemorrhagic stroke due to injury.
• Verify the patient's dominant side is explicitly stated as "left dominant" in the medical record.
• This code is for sequelae (residual effects), not the acute intracerebral hemorrhage itself.
