Monoplg upr lmb fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff unsp side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb (arm or hand) that developed as a sequela of a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. The specific side of the monoplegia is not documented or is unknown.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states monoplegia of an upper limb as a residual effect of a past non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and the affected side is not specified. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term neurological deficits rather than acute stroke symptoms.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "monoplegia" of an upper limb, not hemiplegia or paresis.
• Verify the intracranial hemorrhage was "nontraumatic" and not due to an injury.
• Do not use if the affected side (left or right) is documented; more specific codes exist for laterality.
