What Causes Tingling Sensation On Both Sides Of Face?
I went to the ER Thursday evening I had tingling in my face on both sides from the nose down and my hands are tingling. An Mri was done that shows a right front lobal mass beside it on the paper it say 348.9. Is this the size or some kind of code. I was told to get an apt. with a nurologist asap. It is not cancerous.

Hello!
I understand your concern.
That code is a disease classification code that means Non specified condition of the brain. It may be everything like a stroke, or a structural anomaly, a demyelinating lesion, a vascular lesion, or an infection.
Further exams may be needed like a stereotactic biopsy, lumbar puncture, routine and specific blood tests to find out its nature.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
Best wishes Dr Abaz
