Dissociation between cutaneous and deep sensibility in central post-stroke pain (CPSP).
We present three cases of central post-stroke pain after right hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke associated with severe impairment of cutaneous sensibility but preservation of stimulus-evoked pain from periosteum. This is the first such report of dissociation of cutaneous- from deep-tissue sensibility loss.
