Monoplg upr lmb fol cerebral infrc aff right nondom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke). Specifically, the paralysis is located in the right upper extremity, and the stroke occurred in the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with right upper limb monoplegia directly attributable to a previous cerebral infarction. The medical record must specify the laterality of the monoplegia (right upper limb) and confirm the non-dominant side of the brain was affected by the stroke.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "monoplegia" of the upper limb, not hemiplegia or paresis.
• Verify the affected side is explicitly stated as "right" and the cerebral infarction impacted the "non-dominant" side.
• This code is for sequelae; do not use for acute stroke. An additional code for the type of cerebral infarction (e.g., I63.x) would be used for the acute event.
