Hemiplga fol oth cerebvasc disease aff left dominant side

This code signifies weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis) that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than an infarction or hemorrhage, such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebral venous thrombosis. Specifically, the neurological deficit impacts the left side of the body in an individual whose dominant side is also the left.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with residual left-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis following a cerebrovascular disease other than stroke (e.g., TIA, cerebral vasculitis, cerebral venous thrombosis), and the patient's dominant side is recorded as left. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term neurological deficits.

• Ensure documentation specifies the cause of the hemiplegia/hemiparesis is a cerebrovascular disease other than stroke, and that it is a sequela.
• Verify laterality (left side affected) and the patient's dominant side (left) are explicitly documented.
• Do not use for acute cerebrovascular events; this code is for residual effects.
