Louise’s friend, Rodrigo, is a third year medical student. He is worried about Louise having the lumbar puncture as he has learnt that the pressure change can start to pull the brain out of the skull base. What is Rodrigo referring to here? [1]

Rodrigo is worried about cerebellar tonsillar herniation, or ‘coning’. This is a risk of lumbar puncture in the context of obstructive hydrocephalus.

Normally, CSF will circulate freely around both brain and spinal cord as it is produced and reabsorbed.

Where there is obstructive hydrocephalus, however, there is a blockage in the cerebral ventricular system, effectively creating two closed CSF compartments. In this situation, when CSF is drawn off during lumbar puncture, a pressure differential is created, with spinal pressure much lower than cranial. This pulls the cerebellar tonsils out through the foramen magnum, compressing the brainstem - invariably an immediately fatal event.

If obstructive hydrocephalus is a possibility, imaging should always be undertaken to rule it out prior to lumbar puncture.
