Oth parlyt syndrome fol cerebral infrc aff right nondom side

This code signifies a paralytic syndrome, not otherwise specified as hemiplegia or hemiparesis, that developed as a sequela of a cerebral infarction. The paralysis specifically affects the right side of the body, and this side is identified as the patient's non-dominant side. This indicates a persistent neurological deficit resulting from a stroke.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient has a paralytic syndrome (other than hemiplegia/hemiparesis) as a late effect of a cerebral infarction. The medical record must specify that the right side is affected and that the right side is the patient's non-dominant side. This code is used for conditions occurring 28 days or more after the initial stroke event.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other paralytic syndrome" and not hemiplegia or hemiparesis, as those have distinct codes.
• Verify laterality (right side) and dominance (non-dominant) are explicitly stated in the medical record.
• Always sequence the cerebral infarction (I60-I69) as the primary diagnosis if the patient is still receiving active treatment for the stroke itself, with this code as a secondary diagnosis for the sequela.
