My Neuro guy sent me for a Lumbar puncture. I have narcolepsy and he decided he wanted to measure hypocretins. I have a lumbar spinal fusion, they tried 3 times, even under fluroscopy--no success. Now they are talking going in through the cervical spine to collect CSF. I have trying desperately to search for information on this procedure, but cannot find a thing. Could you please tell me EXACTLY what the medical term is for doing a spinal tap in the neck?
Thanks,
