Lumbar Puncture Procedure | Dr. Swati Sharma | Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram

In this video, Dr. Swati Sharma, Consultant – Neurology, Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram, explains the Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) procedure, a crucial diagnostic test for evaluating causes of severe headaches, fever, or sudden limb weakness. She highlights how this simple bedside procedure involves collecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lower back to diagnose conditions such as meningitis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), or Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dr. Sharma reassures that the procedure is safe, does not require general anesthesia, and any mild, short-term side effects are easily managed with routine care.
