Evidence from prospective and retrospective clinical trials suggests that for infants <2 months old, only those at high risk for serious bacterial infection by standardized criteria (eg, Rochester classification) require lumbar puncture (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on prospective and retrospective cohort studies). However, expert opinion suggests lumbar puncture on all infants ag...

Sir Lumbar puncture (LP) is an essential medical procedure for several clinical conditions. It is an invasive procedure by which physicians can provide sample of cerebrospinal fluid through a needle inserted into the lower lumbar area for diagnostic purposes (meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage). Injection of medications into the cerebrospinal fluid "intrathecally", particularly for spinal an...

Myelography and pneumoencephalography are invasive procedures with many complications. We report two cases of esotropia that developed 8 and 7 days after a Pantopaque myelogram and a pneumoencephalogram, respectively . Fortunately , the esotropia was temporary in both cases. This rare complication, of which very few radiologists are aware, was presumably secondary to the lumbar puncture perform...

MY OBJECT in publishing this series of glaucoma operations is to draw attention to the galvano-cautery puncture of Preziozi (1924, 1950) in the hope that other surgeons will give it a trial. It is very similar to Elliott's trephine operation, but is even easier to perform, and takes a much shorter time. In my report consideration is given to the result of the operation on the tension, together ...
