Is Numbness On Face, A Serious Concern?
I had a CT scan due to numbness and mild loss of use of the left side of my face. Should I be concerned? The following was stated: The orbits are unremarkable. The mastoid air cells are clear. The calvarium is intact. There is mild mucosal thickening within the lateral left sphenoid sinus. There is minimal mucosal thickening within a posterior right ethmoid air cell. There is a mucous retention cyst within the left maxillary sinus.

Hello,
You need to be concerned about the numbness and weakness in the face. You probably need to see a neurologist. The CT scan does not explain the symptoms you are having. The CT only shows evidence of chronic sinusitis. You may need an MRI or other testing. See a neurologist soon,
Regards
