is numbness on both sides of face a sign of a stroke
Neuropathy or nerve damage can be due to a number of specific diseases and disorders. In many cases, neuropathy has no known cause. In rare cases, if the numb face is accompanied by numbness or weakness of the arms or legs on one side of the body, it can be a sign of stroke. Numbness of the face can also result from injury or, rarely, tumors of the brain or nerves.
