Spinal ultrasound after failed landmarked-based lumbar puncture: a single institutional experience.
The safety and efficacy of US-guided lumbar puncture in children has been described. In the pediatric setting, children are frequently referred to interventional radiology only after a failed landmark-based attempt. Routine pre-procedure US in these children is useful to determine a safe level for subarachnoid access and to optimize success. ⋯ Limited spinal US following failed landmark-based lumbar punctures frequently identifies procedure-related complications and can augment patient selection for future image-guided lumbar punctures.
