ICD-10 Code I69.24 – Monoplegia of lower limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.24 – Monoplegia of lower limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
I69.24 identifies a residual lower-limb paralysis affecting one leg after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a hemorrhagic stroke. Use it for lingering deficits, not the acute bleed itself.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see persistent weakness or paralysis limited to one lower extremity, with impaired gait, reduced mobility, or need for assistive devices after the hemorrhagic event.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents monoplegia of a lower limb as a late effect of a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It applies when the hemorrhage is no longer the active reason for care and the residual deficit remains. Confirm laterality and any documented causal linkage.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, or generalized weakness without documented monoplegia. Check documentation if the deficit is from another neurologic condition.
Coding tip
Link the lower-limb monoplegia to the prior nontraumatic hemorrhage in the chart before assigning I69.24.
