Isi artikel

Lumbar puncture is a safe and commonly performed procedure, with an overall complication rate of 0.1% to 0.5%. Well-known contraindications to lumbar puncture are an intracranial tumor, noncommunicating hydrocephalus, coagulopathy, and ruptured aneurysm with subarachnoid hemorrhage. We report a case of a young man with epilepsy who, after a lumbar puncture performed for research purposes, presented with an intracerebral hematoma and neurological deficits. To the best of our knowledge, post-tap intraparenchymal hematoma is extremely rare and only 1 case has been reported previously. In consideration, all patients undergoing a lumbar puncture should be informed about this possible rare complication, even in the absence of documented hemorrhagic risk factors.
