Cases of pain mimicking trigeminal neuralgia (TN) induced by ischemic stroke in the brainstem have been sparsely reported. The study was to determine the characteristics of symptomatic TN in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the medulla oblongata and pons, and to determine the location of the ischemic lesion associated with the pain.
