ICD-10 Code I69.133 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.133 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies one-sided paralysis or severe weakness limited to the upper limb after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It applies when the affected arm is on the right and that side is documented as non-dominant.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced or absent voluntary movement in the right upper extremity, with weakness confined to one limb. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact neurologic deficit and laterality.
When to use this code
Use I69.133 when the record states monoplegia of the right upper limb as a sequela of a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The residual deficit should be the reason for the encounter or clearly documented as an ongoing condition. Confirm that the right side is non-dominant if that detail appears in the chart.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute stroke, transient weakness, or paralysis from trauma. Check documentation if the record does not clearly link the arm deficit to prior intracerebral hemorrhage.
Coding tip
Verify the residual deficit, the hemorrhage history, and laterality before assigning the code.
