ICD-10 Code I69.163 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.163 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies residual paralysis or other paralytic syndrome that remains after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It applies when the affected side is the right non-dominant side and the sequela is being documented.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include weakness, loss of voluntary movement, or persistent motor impairment on the right non-dominant side after the hemorrhagic event. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code for a patient whose current encounter is for the lasting neurologic deficit, not the acute hemorrhage itself. The record should link the paralysis to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and specify the right non-dominant side. If laterality or dominance is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for the acute intracerebral hemorrhage or for weakness with no documented post-stroke sequela. It is also not appropriate if the affected side is different or the residual deficit is not described as paralytic syndrome.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider documents both the hemorrhagic stroke history and the residual right non-dominant-sided deficit before assigning this sequela code.
