ICD-10 Code I69.863 – Other paralytic syndrome following other cerebrovascular disease affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.863 – Other paralytic syndrome following other cerebrovascular disease affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies residual paralysis or similar motor deficit affecting the right non-dominant side after a prior cerebrovascular disease, other than stroke categories coded elsewhere. Use it for ongoing aftereffects, not the acute event.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include weakness, impaired voluntary movement, or abnormal tone on the right non-dominant side after a documented cerebrovascular event. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.863 when the record clearly links the current paralytic syndrome to a past cerebrovascular disease and specifies the right non-dominant side. You should code the residual condition when the acute phase is over and deficits remain. Check documentation if laterality, dominance, or the type of cerebrovascular disease is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute stroke, transient ischemic attack, or paralysis without a documented cerebrovascular cause. Do not use it if the record does not specify the right non-dominant side.
Coding tip
Verify both the residual deficit and the side/dominance documentation before assigning this code.
