I69.869 Other paralytic syndrome following other cerebrovascular disease affecting unspecified side

Billable ICD-10-CM code, FY2026. Exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting.

Applies from I69 Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease

Excludes1 (never code together)

• personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73)
• personal history of prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (PRIND) (Z86.73)
• personal history of reversible ischemic neurologcial deficit (RIND) (Z86.73)
• sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Notes

• Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60-I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition

Applies from I69.8 Sequelae of other cerebrovascular diseases

Excludes1 (never code together)

• sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Applies from I69.86 Other paralytic syndrome following other cerebrovascular disease

Excludes1 (never code together)

• hemiplegia/hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.85-)
• monoplegia of lower limb following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.84-)
• monoplegia of upper limb following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.83-)

Use additional code

• code to identify type of paralytic syndrome, such as:
• locked-in state (G83.5)
• quadriplegia (G82.5-)
