Background: Lumbar puncture (LP) is a widely-used investigative procedure. It allows
relatively non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) which may have a …

Aims We report the cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure (CSF-OP) measurements obtained
before and after venous sinus stenting (VSS) in 50 patients with idiopathic intracranial …

Advances in ophthalmic diagnostics and results of interventional clinical trials are shifting
diagnosis and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) to be more …

Background Cervical myelopathy is a common and debilitating chronic spinal cord
dysfunction. Treatment includes anterior and/or posterior surgical intervention to …

Lumbar puncture opening pressure (LPOP) exceeding 250mmH2O is key in diagnosing
idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), per revised Friedman's criteria. Some patients do …

Importance: Prior studies evaluating opening pressure (OP) have mostly involved lumbar
puncture (LP) for diagnosis of neurologic disease or small cohorts of healthy volunteers and …

Background The standard lumbar puncture position involves maximum flexion of both
lumbar and cervical spine. The cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure (CSF op) is measured …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this article is to detail the indications, techniques, risks, and
benefits of fluoroscopically guided lumbar puncture (LP). CONCLUSION. Familiarity with the …

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare disorder occurring more frequently in
obese women of childbearing age, resulting in increased intracranial pressure (ICP) from an …
