A member asked:

Does a sroke in the left anterior cerebral territory and deep white matter cause central post stroke pain syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Central pain: Central pain from stroke typically follows thalamic strokes. This part of the brain not in the anterior cerebral territory however this does serve the orbital frontal cortex that could in theory cause some changes in how your brain processes pain. Stroke in young adults requires an extensive workup including a hypercoagulable evaluation. Best health.
