Hemiplga fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff right nondom side

Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies weakness or paralysis on one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis) that developed as a residual effect of a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Specifically, it indicates that the right side of the body is affected, and this side is identified as the patient's non-dominant side.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents with persistent right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis that is a sequela of a prior non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Documentation must clearly state the laterality (right side), the non-dominant status of that side, and confirm the etiology as a previous non-traumatic intracranial bleed.

💡Coding Tips

Always confirm the affected side (right) and the patient's dominance (non-dominant) from the medical record.
Distinguish from hemiplegia/hemiparesis due to ischemic stroke (I69.3-) or traumatic brain injury (I69.8-).
This code is for sequelae; use acute stroke codes (I60-I62) for the initial event.
