Choosing Fortis Hiranandani Hospital for Lumbar Puncture gives patients access to experienced neurologists, advanced diagnostic facilities, laboratory testing, and structured post-procedure monitoring. Established in 2007, the NABH accredited hospital in Mumbai, India has 149 beds and provides specialized neurological diagnostic services.

Lumbar Puncture is generally performed using local anaesthesia while the patient lies on their side or sits in a suitable position. The lower back is cleaned and numbed before a fine needle is carefully advanced into the lumbar subarachnoid space to obtain CSF. Patients are monitored afterward for symptoms such as headache, back discomfort, bleeding, or signs of infection. In some cases, additional precautions or imaging guidance may be required based on the patient's clinical condition.
