Monoplg upr lmb fol unsp cerebvasc disease aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the left arm, that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack) where the specific type of cerebrovascular disease is not documented. The paralysis is on the dominant side of the body.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of the left upper extremity resulting from a cerebrovascular accident, and the patient is left-hand dominant. This code is appropriate when the specific nature of the cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) is not specified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left dominant" to support laterality and dominance.
• Do not use if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., infarction, hemorrhage) is known; instead, use a more specific I69.0-I69.2 code.
• Always sequence this code after the acute cerebrovascular event code (if still in the acute phase) or as a primary diagnosis for long-term follow-up of the sequela.
