AB Knowledge  of  anatomical  landmarks  and  proper  sterile  technique  are  important  when  performing  a  lumbar  puncture  (LP).Absolute  contraindications  to  LP  are  skin  infection  over  puncture  site  and  a  brain  mass  causing  increased  intracranial  pressure.Herniation  is  the  most  serious  complication  of  a  LP,  whereas  post-LP  headache  is  most  common.
