What is the Role of Lumbar Puncture in Diagnosing Neurological Symptoms in Pregnant Women?
In pregnant women, a lumbar puncture may be part of the diagnostic workup for neurological symptoms that could be related to conditions like pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. These conditions can present with severe headaches, visual disturbances, and altered mental status, necessitating a thorough evaluation that may include a lumbar puncture to exclude other causes.
