Lumbar Puncture
A spinal tap, also known as a lumbar puncture, is a procedure in which a sample of the fluid surrounding the spinal cord, called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is removed through a needle. The fluid can be examined for evidence of a range of disorders of brain and nervous system such as infection, inflammation, bleeding, and Guillian Barre syndrome.
