The procedure involves inserting a needle into the [[subarachnoid space]] of the [[lumbar]] region of the [[spine]].<br /> <br /> ==Indications==<br /> Spinal taps are performed for various reasons, including:<br /> * Diagnosing [[meningitis]], [[encephalitis]], and other [[central nervous system]] infections.<br /> * Diagnosing [[subarachnoid hemorrhage]].<br /> * Diagnosing [[multiple sclerosis]] and other [[demyelinating diseases]].<br /> * Measuring [[intracranial pressure]].<br /> * Administering [[intrathecal]] medications, such as [[chemotherapy]].<br /> <br /> ==Procedure==<br /> The patient is typically positioned lying on their side with their knees drawn up to their chest, or sitting and leaning forward. The area around the lumbar spine is cleaned and sterilized. Local [[anesthesia]] is administered to numb the area. A hollow needle is then inserted between the [[vertebrae]] into the subarachnoid space to collect CSF.<br /> <br /> ==Risks and Complications==<br /> While generally safe, spinal taps can have potential risks and complications, including:<br /> * [[Post-dural-puncture headache]]<br /> * [[Infection]]<br /> * [[Bleeding]]<br /> * [[Nerve damage]]<br /> <br /> ==Aftercare==<br /> After the procedure, patients are usually advised to lie flat for a few hours to reduce the risk of headaches. They should also stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Related Pages==<br /> * [[Cerebrospinal fluid]]<br /> * [[Meningitis]]<br /> * [[Multiple sclerosis]]<br /> * [[Intrathecal administration]]<br /> * [[Central nervous system]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Medical procedures]]<br /> [[Category:Neurology]]<br /> [[Category:Diagnostic techniques]]<br /> <br /> {{Neurology-stub}}</div> Prab
