Oth parlyt syndrome fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff unsp side

This code signifies a paralytic syndrome, not otherwise specified, that develops as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The paralysis is a residual effect of the hemorrhage, and the specific side affected is not documented. This code is used when the type of paralytic syndrome is not further specified.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a paralytic syndrome to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and the specific type of paralysis (e.g., hemiplegia, monoplegia) is not detailed. This code is appropriate when the medical record does not specify the affected side of the body. Documentation should indicate the nontraumatic nature of the original hemorrhage and the subsequent development of paralysis.

• Ensure the intracranial hemorrhage was explicitly nontraumatic; otherwise, a different code series is required.
• Only use this code when the specific type of paralytic syndrome and the affected side are not documented. If known, more specific codes should be utilized.
• This code is a sequela code, meaning it describes a condition that is a residual effect of a previous illness or injury.
