Monoplg low lmb fol oth cerebvasc disease aff right dom side

This code signifies a paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that occurs as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than an infarction or hemorrhage. The paralysis specifically impacts the right dominant side of the body. This condition represents a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a past cerebrovascular incident.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with monoplegia of the right lower limb, and the etiology is attributed to a previous cerebrovascular disease not specified as an infarction or hemorrhage (e.g., transient ischemic attack with residual deficits, cerebral vasculitis). The medical record must specify the laterality (right) and the dominant side.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "monoplegia" of a lower limb and not hemiplegia or monoplegia of an upper limb.
• Verify the cerebrovascular disease is explicitly stated as "other" and not a stroke (infarction) or hemorrhage, which have their own sequelae codes.
• Confirm the affected side is documented as "right" and that it is the patient's "dominant" side.
