scotomas

My daughter 17, was just diagnosed with scotomas in both eyes. This started right after a spinal tap, ever heard of that happening?

A "spinal tap" (lumbar puncture) should NOT cause blind spots (scotomas). HOWEVER many diseases that cause scotomas might require a lumbar puncture to aid in diagnosis.
