Oth parlyt synd fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff left dom side

This code signifies a neurological deficit characterized by paralysis or paresis resulting from a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as an aneurysm rupture or spontaneous intracerebral bleed. The paralysis specifically affects the left side of the body, indicating involvement of the right cerebral hemisphere. This condition is a sequela, meaning it is a residual effect occurring after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has passed.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing a paralytic syndrome (e.g., hemiplegia, hemiparesis) on their left dominant side, and this condition is a direct consequence of a previous non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The medical record must specify that the hemorrhage was not due to trauma and that the paralytic symptoms are chronic or long-term sequelae, not acute.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "left dominant side" for the paralytic syndrome; otherwise, a less specific code may be required.
• This code is for sequelae; do not use it for the acute phase of the intracranial hemorrhage.
• Verify the hemorrhage was "nontraumatic" to differentiate from codes in the S06 category.
