C.ANGIOMA AND TINGLING IN HAND

Posted By TOM on November 25, 1998 at 10:21:03:







I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CAVERNOUS ANGIOMA APPROXIMATELY 2MM IN THE RIGHT FRONTAL TEMPORAL LOBE. YESTERDAY AT WORK I HAVE A SUDDEN SENSATION IN MY RIGHT HAND AS THOUGH IT HAD "FALLEN ASLEEP" AND A QUICK SENSATION OF NUMBNESS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE. BOTH LASTED FOR LESS THAN 10 SECONDS AND DID NOT INCLUDE ANYOTHER SENSATIONS. I ASKED MY DOCTOR ABOUT THIS AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SUGGEST WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS OR HOW IT WAS RELATED TO MY SITUATION. I WILL BE HAVING AN MRI IN TWO DAYS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN SCHEDUELED AND TAKE 300 MG OF DILANTIN NIGHTLY.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE TINGLING AND WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDANARY THAT DAY THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT. IS THIS A COMMON THING ASSOCIATED WITH CAVERNOUS ANGIOMA OR SHOULD I CONSULT ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR THEIR OPINION? MANY THANKS FOR THE HELP.
