Hemiplga fol oth cerebvasc disease aff right dominant side

This code signifies weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis) that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke (e.g., cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or transient ischemic attack). Specifically, it indicates that the right side of the body is affected, and the patient's dominant side is the right.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links residual right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis to a past cerebrovascular disease other than an infarction. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term neurological deficits persisting after the initial acute phase of the cerebrovascular event. Ensure the medical record specifies the right side as affected and the patient's dominance as right.

• Always confirm the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., hemorrhage, TIA) and that it is not a cerebral infarction.
• Verify laterality (right side affected) and the patient's dominant side (right) are explicitly documented.
• This code is a sequela code; it should be used for residual effects, not the acute event itself.
