Lumbar puncture in spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Seventy-four patients with proved spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage were studied. Sixty-four underwent computed tomography and 55 underwent lumbar puncture. Seven cases deteriorated dramatically after lumbar puncture, six of these showing evidence of cerebral dislocation on further investigation. Four of the seven had not undergone computed tomography and three underwent computed tomography ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of early subarachnoid hemorrhage from traumatic lumbar puncture.
The problem of early differentiation of "traumatic tap" from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was studied in the rabbit by determining the changes in percentage of hemolysis and in lactate concentrations in CSF within the first twenty-four hours following induced SAH. The 0.3 to 7% hemolysis which occurred was relatively independent both of the time following SAH and of the number of red blood cel...
متن کاملLumbar puncture and subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Medical notes of 123 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage were examined. No patient deteriorated at the time of lumbar puncture. All but 2 patients with associated intracerebral haematomas had markedly impaired consciousness or focal signs. Two of 30 patients with meningitis were initially diagnosed as subarachnoid haemorrhage, and one died without lumbar puncture. If consciousness is not mar...
متن کاملSubarachnoid hemorrhage diagnosis by computed tomography and lumbar puncture: are fifth generation CT scanners better at identifying subarachnoid hemorrhage?
This study sought to determine the sensitivity and specificity of modern computed tomography (CT) scans for the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). No studies have been done recently with fifth generation CT scanners to look at the diagnosis of SAH. A retrospective chart review was done of Emergency Department (ED), laboratory, and hospital records at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Gr...
