Study on the Causes Contributing to the Prognosis of Post Lumbar Puncture Headache

Abstract

Lumbar punction (LP) is one of the indispensable invasive methods; which frequently is followed by post lumbar punction headache (PLPH) as a clinical problem. Since PLPH is correlated to the needle diameters in the literature, in this study we aimed to reveal the multifactorial causes of PLPH. This study was done by the retrospective analysis of the data of 101 LP-applied patients in U.U.M.F-Neurology Clinic between June-December 2010. Prediagnosis for LP-applied patients were frequently MS, GBS and T. Myelitis. PLPH occurred in 41.7% of the enrolled patients. When PLPH occurrence (PLPH-O) and the subgroups including psychiatric co-morbidity (p=0.798), position of LP application (p=0.766), intervertebral space where CSF was taken (p=1.00), drained CSF amount (p=0.419) and lying position after LP (p=0.132) were compared, none of these were assessed as a risk factor for PLPH-O. As the number of LP attempts increased (p=0.042) and post-lumbar mobilization time decreased (p<0.001), PLPH-O rate was found to be increased. PLPH-O was decreased as the period of LP needle’s stay in intervertebral space decreased (p=0.047). PLPH-O rate was higher in patients with headache story than patients without headache story before LP (0.020). As a result the risk factors affecting PLPH, other than needle diameter, were revealed.
