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

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Specifically, the hemorrhage occurred in a location that impacts the left non-dominant side of the brain, leading to this motor deficit. This condition represents a chronic neurological impairment resulting from a prior cerebrovascular event.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with monoplegia of the lower limb, and the etiology is directly attributed to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The medical record must specify that the affected side is the left, and it is the patient's non-dominant side. This code is appropriate for reporting the long-term neurological deficit after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has passed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" intracranial hemorrhage as the cause of the monoplegia.
• Verify laterality (left) and dominance (non-dominant) are clearly stated in the medical record.
• This code is a sequela code; it should be sequenced after the code for the underlying condition if still active, or as a primary diagnosis if the sequela is the focus of the encounter.
