Oth paralytic syndrome fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff unsp side

This code signifies a paralytic syndrome, not further specified as hemiplegia, hemiparesis, monoplegia, or monoplegia, that develops as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The paralysis affects an unspecified side of the body, indicating the physician did not document laterality.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a paralytic syndrome to a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, and the specific type of paralysis (e.g., hemiplegia) is not documented. This code is appropriate when the affected side of the body is also not specified in the medical record.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nontraumatic" intracerebral hemorrhage as the cause of the paralytic syndrome.
• Only use this code when the type of paralytic syndrome and the affected side are not specified; otherwise, a more specific code from the I69.1- series should be used.
• Sequence this code after the acute intracerebral hemorrhage code (if still active) or as a primary diagnosis for follow-up care related to the sequela.
