At MALI Interdisciplinary Hospital, Lumbar Puncture is performed using specialized cerebrospinal fluid collection techniques and comprehensive pre-procedure neurological assessment. Established in 2021, this NABH, JCI, CBAHI, AACI accredited hospital in Bangkok, Thailand has 100 beds and offers advanced neurology and diagnostic services.

Lumbar Puncture may be considered when analysis of cerebrospinal fluid is required to investigate suspected neurological or infectious conditions. During the procedure, the patient is positioned appropriately while a fine needle is inserted between the vertebrae in the lower lumbar region into the space containing CSF. A small amount of fluid is collected for laboratory analysis, and the needle is then removed. Imaging may be performed beforehand when clinically indicated to assess safety.
