Monoplg low lmb fol ntrm subarach hemor aff right dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a subarachnoid hemorrhage not caused by trauma. Specifically, it indicates that the right lower limb is affected and that the patient's right side is their dominant side.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a patient presents with right lower limb monoplegia directly attributable to a previous nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. The medical record must specify the laterality of the monoplegia (right lower limb) and the patient's dominant side (right).

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the monoplegia to a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
• Verify the affected limb is the right lower limb and that the patient's right side is dominant.
• Do not use for monoplegia due to traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage or other cerebrovascular accidents.
