Monoplg upr lmb fol oth cerebvasc dis aff right nondom side

This code signifies a condition where a patient experiences paralysis or significant weakness affecting only one upper limb (monoplegia) as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke, such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebral aneurysm rupture. Specifically, the right upper limb is affected, and this side is identified as the non-dominant side for the patient.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of the right upper limb as a sequela of a cerebrovascular disease other than a stroke, and the patient's medical record specifies the right side as non-dominant. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term neurological deficits resulting from the initial cerebrovascular event.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "monoplegia" of the upper limb, not hemiplegia or paresis.
• Verify that the cerebrovascular event is explicitly stated as "other cerebrovascular disease" and not an acute stroke (I60-I67).
• Confirm laterality (right) and dominance (non-dominant) are clearly documented to support code specificity.
