“…Green (19), Brady (28), Roberts (15), and Sharpe and Maclaire (14) stated that the finding of bloody cerebrospinal fluid is reliable evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. A contrary opinion is expressed by Lippman (29), Grulee (8), Ford (30), and Levinson (21). My experience is in agreement with the latter group of authors.…”

“…Needle puncture of the cisterna magna to obtain cerebrospinal fluid was initially only used experimentally in laboratory animals [16], because it was considered too dangerous to perform in humans. However, beginning in the 1920s, cisternal puncture became an extremely popular technique for obtaining access to the subarachnoid space [2,3,42,81]. Cisternal puncture was mainly performed for purposes of irrigation of the spinal subarachnoid space in cases of suppurative meningitis, for instillation of medications for treatment of central nervous system syphilis, and for simultaneous comparison of cerebrospinal fluid composition and pressure with those values obtained by lumbar puncture in the investigation of cases of suspected spinal block (before the introduction of myelography).…”

Sampling of the cerebrospinal fluid is an extremely important procedure, since it is essentially the only neurodiagnostic technique that permits physicians to evaluate the biochemical and metabolic aspects of central nervous system functioning . However, it is imperative that the sample be properly collected and processed in order for the maximum information to be obtained. Before attempting to obtain cerebrospinal fluid, the physician should be aware of what information is desired from the study and how much cerebrospinal fluid is required for each laboratory test to be performed in order to collect and process the specimens properly. This chapter deals with the proper techniques used to sample cerebrospinal fluid and the techniques for subsequently handling the collected fluid . Cerebrospinal fluid may be collected by lumbar puncture, cisternal puncture, or lateral cervical puncture, or through ventricular cannulas (or shunts). TECHNIQUE OF LUMBAR PUNCTURELumbar puncture, a procedure first introduced in the late nineteenth century [63], is the simplest, most convenient, and most widely used method for obtaining access to the subarachnoid space and for obtaining samples of cerebrospinal fluid (Figures 4.1 and 4.2). Below the level of the conus medullaris, the arachnoid continues as far as the second sacral vertebra to form a lumbar subarachnoid 'cul-de-sac' that contains cerebrospinal fluid and the roots of the cauda equina. Thus, a needle can be readily introduced through the inter-
