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

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Specifically, it indicates that the paralysis is on the left side of a patient who is documented as left-dominant.

Use this code when a patient presents with persistent monoplegia of the left lower limb directly attributable to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Documentation must clearly state the laterality of the paralysis, its causal link to a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and the patient's left-sided dominance.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "left dominant" to support the specificity of this code. If dominance is not specified, an unspecified dominance code should be used.
• This code is for sequelae (late effects); do not use it for acute or subacute paralysis immediately following the hemorrhage.
• Always sequence the underlying cause of the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-) as a secondary diagnosis, if applicable and still relevant.
