- Abstract
Acute post-stroke pain can be a late complication; rarely it may occur in the acute phase of a stroke. However, pain following acute pontine infarcts are exceedingly rare and all such cases described had pain and paresthesia involving only the face. There are no reports of pontine strokes causing pain or abnormal sensory involvement in the limbs. Here we describe a patient where following an acute paramedian pontine infarct; one of the main presenting symptoms was acute episodic very severe burning paresthesia on the side of hemiparesis. This post-stroke pain was also associated with remarkably high blood pressure surges.
