Monoplg upr lmb fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Specifically, the paralysis impacts the left dominant upper extremity. This condition represents a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a previous brain bleed not caused by trauma.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of the left dominant upper limb as a residual effect of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage). This code is appropriate for chronic conditions, not acute events. Documentation should specify the affected limb, the dominant side, and the nontraumatic origin of the prior intracranial hemorrhage.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the sequela (e.g., hemiplegia, monoplegia).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "left dominant" and confirms the nontraumatic nature of the original intracranial hemorrhage.
• Distinguish from monoplegia due to traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.83- series) or other cerebrovascular diseases (I69.33-, I69.13-, I69.03-).
