Monoplg low lmb fol unsp cerebvasc dis aff right dom side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event, such as a stroke, where the specific type of cerebrovascular disease is not documented. The paralysis is specifically noted to affect the right dominant side of the patient.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of the lower limb as a residual effect of a past cerebrovascular accident, and the patient's dominant side is recorded as right. The medical record should specify that the cerebrovascular disease type is unknown or unspecified.

• Ensure documentation specifies "monoplegia" of a single lower limb and not hemiplegia or other paralysis types.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the patient's dominant side are explicitly stated in the medical record.
• Do not use this code if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke) is known; instead, use a more specific I69.x code.
