What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Face While Suffering From Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension?

Hi. I had an MRI done Wednesday. The results showed: No acute intracranial abnormality. Few punctuate remote microhemorrahges in the left parietal lobe. Also Empty sella. Bilateral petrous apex cephaloceles associated with the Meckels caves. Bilateral dilation of dural caves of the oculomotor nerves and of cranial nerves IX-XI in the bilateral jugular foramina. The diagnosis-----Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I looked up iih. Symptoms are headaches, and vision loss. I have neither one. I originally went to the doctor because I was having tingling in my lips and face. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that this is a neurological disorder, related to the increased pressure inside the brain space.

I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and discussing about the possibility of starting Acetazolamide. Steroids may help improve your situation too.

Hope to have been helpful!
