Lumbar punctures usually take place in a doctorâs office â most often a neurologist â that has been equipped to do this procedure. Who will be in the room with my child during the procedure? Your child will be with her doctor or nurse practitioner performing the lumbar puncture, and a nurse or clinical assistant who will help.
A temporary pain or numbness to the legs or lower back pain may be experienced. There is a risk of bleeding in the spinal canal. Should there be increased pressure or swelling in the brain before the procedure, a lumbar puncture can cause fluctuations in the CSF fluid levels, resulting in brain herniation. Herniation is a dangerous event in which the brain stem or top of the spinal column is compressed by swelling of the brain.
