Hemiplga following oth ntrm intcrn hemor affecting unsp side

This code indicates residual neurological deficits characterized by weakness or paralysis on one side of the body (hemiparesis or hemiplegia) that persist after a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. It specifies that the affected side is not documented.

Use this code for patients presenting with chronic or persistent hemiplegia or hemiparesis as a sequela of a non-traumatic intracranial bleed. Documentation should clearly link the neurological deficit to a prior non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage and indicate that the specific side affected is unknown or not recorded.

• Requires a documented causal link between the hemiplegia/hemiparesis and a prior non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
• Only use when the affected side (left or right) is not specified in the medical record.
• Sequence after the code for the underlying condition if the hemorrhage is still active or being treated.
