Hemiplga following cerebral infrc aff right dominant side

This code signifies weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body (hemiparesis or hemiplegia) that developed as a direct consequence of a cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke). Specifically, it indicates that the right side of the body is affected, and this side is the patient's dominant side.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient has residual hemiplegia or hemiparesis on their right dominant side, and this neurological deficit is a sequela of a prior ischemic stroke. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term effects, not the acute stroke itself.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right dominant side" for accurate laterality and dominance assignment.
• Do not use this code for acute stroke; it is for sequelae.
• Distinguish from transient ischemic attack (TIA) sequelae, as TIAs are excluded.
