Monoplg low lmb fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff r nondom side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single lower limb on the right side, which developed as a sequela of a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This monoplegia is a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a stroke or other non-injury-related bleeding within the brain. The affected side is specified as the non-dominant side.

Use this code for patients presenting with chronic right lower limb monoplegia clearly documented as a residual effect of a past non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Documentation should specify the paralysis affects only one lower limb, its laterality (right), and that it is a consequence of a non-traumatic brain bleed. This code is appropriate for follow-up care and rehabilitation related to this specific neurological deficit.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "monoplegia" of the lower limb and specifies the right side.
• Verify the etiology is "nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage" and not a traumatic brain injury or ischemic stroke.
• This code is for sequelae; an additional code for the original intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-, I62.-) should be used if still relevant for the encounter.
