Monoplg low lmb fol unsp cerebvasc disease aff unsp side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that occurs as a sequela of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or other cerebrovascular disease. The specific type of cerebrovascular disease is not documented, and the affected side of the body is also unspecified. This represents a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a prior brain injury.

Use this code for patients presenting with persistent monoplegia of a lower limb, where medical documentation clearly links this paralysis to a past cerebrovascular event. This code is appropriate when the specific type of CVA (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) is not identified, and the laterality of the monoplegia is not specified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "monoplegia of lower limb" and links it to a "cerebrovascular disease" or "CVA."
• Avoid using this code if the specific type of CVA (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) or the affected side (right/left) is documented; more specific codes are available.
• Always sequence this code after the appropriate code for the underlying cerebrovascular disease, if still active and relevant to the encounter.
