Will there be any sequelae of a lumbar puncture?

Feb 12, 2022

No, nowadays puncture is very advanced. The so-called sequelae that people used to say is actually a blood disease found after puncturing the bone marrow. When it comes to conditioning, I am not very clear. I think this puncture is a very small interventional operation. It can be said for sure that as a diagnostic lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid examination, it will not leave sequelae if it is operated according to medical routine. The postoperative complications of lumbar puncture are mainly low intracranial pressure headache, which is manifested as obvious headache after sitting up, and the headache is relieved or disappeared after lying down. Internal and external leakage will reduce intracranial pressure, pull nerves, and cause headaches. Therefore, after lumbar puncture, patients are generally instructed to stay in bed for 4 to 6 hours, and encouraged to drink more water to prevent the occurrence of hypotensive headaches. In addition, even if a hypotensive headache occurs, it usually resolves on its own after 4 to 6 days.
