Monoplg low lmb fol unsp cerebvasc disease aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that has developed as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular disease (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack). The cerebrovascular event's specific nature is not documented, and the resulting monoplegia impacts the left dominant side of the patient's body.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with left lower limb monoplegia clearly documented as a sequela of a past cerebrovascular event, but the specific type of cerebrovascular disease is not specified in the medical record. Documentation should explicitly state "monoplegia of left lower limb" and link it to a prior, unspecified CVA.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left dominant side" for accurate laterality.
• Do not use if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) is known; instead, use a more specific I69 code.
• This code is for sequelae; an additional code for the acute cerebrovascular event (if still active) would not be appropriate.
