Monoplg low lmb fol oth cerebvasc disease aff unsp side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that occurs as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke, such as a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage or cerebral infarction not specified as stroke. The specific side of the body affected by the monoplegia is not documented.

Use this code when documentation clearly states monoplegia of a lower limb resulting from a cerebrovascular disease other than a stroke, and the laterality of the monoplegia is not specified. This applies to chronic or residual paralysis after the acute phase of the cerebrovascular event has passed. Supporting documentation should identify the underlying cerebrovascular disease and the resulting monoplegia.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the underlying cerebrovascular disease (e.g., I60-I67).
• Ensure documentation specifies "monoplegia" of a lower limb and not hemiplegia or monoplegia of an upper limb.
• If laterality (left or right) of the monoplegia is documented, a more specific code from the I69.84- series should be used.
