About hydrocephalus lumbar puncture

Mar 21, 2022

Lumbar puncture for hydrocephalus is not only an examination method, but also a treatment method. Intracranial pressure can be measured by lumbar puncture. Most hydrocephalus can cause increased intracranial pressure. In the case of communicating hydrocephalus, measuring pressure by lumbar puncture is of great guiding significance for selecting the drainage tube of the ventricle during the operation.

There are three types of drainage tubes in the ventricle, namely high-pressure drainage tubes, medium-pressure drainage tubes and low-pressure drainage tubes, and which one to choose depends on the pressure. In addition, lumbar puncture can release part of the cerebral effusion, which can reduce the intracranial pressure; the curative effect can also be judged according to this inspection method. Lumbar puncture can be done for all hydrocephalus, but not for obstructive hydrocephalus, otherwise it will easily lead to brain herniation and endanger life.
