Elevated Intracranial Pressure; Spinal Tap; False Negative Results |
| Description |
Lumbar puncture is the standard method for measuring CSF pressure, in patients with suspected intracranial hypertension, provided there is no contraindication to a spinal tap. We observed four patients whose CSF opening pressure was reportedly normal despite other evidence of raised intracranial pressure. One patient suffered significant visual loss because of delayed diagnosis. |
