What are the risks of lumbar puncture in a five-month-old baby?

Meningitis can be treated by lumbar puncture and drainage to release the inflammatory-contaminated cerebrospinal fluid. The puncture itself is relatively simple and not very dangerous. But the key is that if hydrocephalus has been caused as you said, a simple lumbar puncture may not solve the problem. Also, hydrocephalus often increases intracranial pressure.
