No, a stroke does not cause multiple sclerosis (MS). Stroke is a cerebrovascular event resulting from interrupted blood flow to the brain, while MS is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system by damaging the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Though both conditions can impact neurological function, they have distinct causes and mechanisms. However, having a stroke may complicate the diagnosis or management of MS in individuals who have both conditions.
