ICD-10 Code I69.832 – Monoplegia of Upper Limb Following Other Cerebrovascular Disease Affecting Left Dominant Side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.832 – Monoplegia of upper limb following other cerebrovascular disease affecting left dominant side
What it is
I69.832 identifies weakness or paralysis limited to one upper limb after a prior cerebrovascular disease, with the left side affected in a dominant patient. Use it for residual deficits, not the acute stroke event.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include persistent loss of motor function, reduced strength, or poor control in one arm after a previous cerebrovascular disease. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly documents monoplegia of the left upper limb as a late effect of a cerebrovascular condition. The patient should have ongoing residual impairment, and the dominant-side detail must be supported by documentation. If laterality or dominance is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute stroke, transient neurologic symptoms, or generalized weakness without a documented residual monoplegia. Do not assign it if the cerebrovascular cause or dominant side is not confirmed.
Coding tip
Code the residual deficit first, and verify the prior cerebrovascular condition and side dominance in the note.
