Become lumbar puncture needle operation can you cause syringomyelia?

Oct 29, 2022

These are two different concepts. Lumbar puncture surgery is only a puncture needle through the spinal ligament and intervertebral disc space into the subarachnoid space after the extraction of a certain amount of cerebrospinal fluid for relevant examination, adults to perform this operation, avoid the presence of the spinal cord, will not cause any damage to the spinal cord. Syringomyelia is a chronic, progressive disease of the spinal cord. The etiology is not well understood, but the lesion is characterized by the formation of tubular cavities in the spinal cord (mainly gray matter) and glial (non-nerve cell) proliferation. Often in the neck of the spinal cord. When the lesion involves the medulla oblongata, it is called vacuomia oblongata. What you misunderstand is that the needle in lumbar puncture surgery may cause mechanical damage to the spinal cord instead of treating it as another spinal cord disease with an unknown cause. So the conclusion: Lumbar puncture surgery does not cause syringomyelia.
