2025 ICD-10-CM code I69.84
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Diseases of the circulatory system - Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease 9 Feed
Monoplegia of lower limb following other cerebrovascular disease. This code describes paralysis affecting one leg as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular event.
Medical necessity for the use of I69.84 requires documentation showing a direct causal relationship between the cerebrovascular disease and the resultant monoplegia of the lower limb.This supports the need for ongoing care, rehabilitation, and resources related to the lasting effects of the cerebrovascular incident.
Clinicians use this code to document the long-term effects of cerebrovascular disease when a patient presents with persistent lower limb monoplegia. Accurate documentation is crucial for treatment planning, rehabilitation services, and assessing the patient's functional status.

In simple words: This code indicates paralysis in one leg following a stroke or other cerebrovascular event.
Monoplegia of lower limb following other cerebrovascular disease.This refers to a sequela, or after-effect, of a cerebrovascular disease, specifically manifesting as paralysis in one lower limb.
Example 1: A patient experiences a stroke that results in lasting paralysis of their left leg. The diagnosis I69.84 would be used to capture this specific sequela., A patient with a history of cerebrovascular disease presents with weakness and limited mobility in their right leg, diagnosed as monoplegia. I69.84 is appropriate if the condition is determined to be a direct result of the previous cerebrovascular event., Following a cerebral hemorrhage, a patient develops complete paralysis of one lower limb. This persistent monoplegia resulting from the cerebrovascular event is classified under I69.84.
Documentation for this code requires a clear history of cerebrovascular disease, evidence of monoplegia affecting one lower limb, neurological examination findings, and imaging studies supporting the diagnosis. The documentation should link the monoplegia directly to the cerebrovascular event and demonstrate its lasting impact on the patient's functional status.
