Oth parlyt synd fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff right dom side

This code signifies a residual paralytic syndrome, not specified as hemiplegia or hemiparesis, that developed as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The neurological deficit specifically impacts the right dominant side of the body. This condition represents a long-term complication rather than the acute event.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing ongoing paralysis or weakness, other than hemiplegia/hemiparesis, on their right dominant side, and this deficit is directly attributed to a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term care settings, or for follow-up encounters after the initial hemorrhage has resolved.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nontraumatic" intracerebral hemorrhage as the cause of the paralytic syndrome.
• Verify that the affected side is explicitly documented as the "right dominant side."
• This code is for sequelae; it should be used in conjunction with codes for the specific type of paralysis if known (e.g., monoplegia, quadriplegia) if not otherwise specified by "other paralytic syndrome."
