AB In  experienced  hands,  lumbar  puncture  (LP)  is  usually  a  safe  procedure.  Major  complications  are  extremely  uncommon  but  can  include  cerebral  herniation,  injury  to  the  spinal  cord  or  nerve  roots,  hemorrhage  (spinal  hematoma),  or  infection.  Minor  complications  occur  with  greater  frequency  and  can  include  backache,  post-LP  headache,  and  radicular  pain  or  numbness.
