Overview

Lumbar puncture is not diagnostic of subdural empyema. Lumbar puncture is an invasive procedure that is contraindicated in cases of suspected subdural empyema and increased intracranial pressure, due to the risk of brain herniation, and mortality.^[1]

Lumbar Puncture

Lumbar puncture is not diagnostic of subdural empyema. Lumbar puncture is an invasive procedure that is contraindicated in cases of suspected subdural empyema and increased intracranial pressure, due to the risk of brain herniation, and mortality.^[1]
