Abstract

We read with interest the service evaluation by Voase and colleagues examining the diagnostic yield of lumbar puncture (LP) in patients presenting with acute severe headache. The authors address an important subject in a time of increasingly sensitive neuroimaging and evolving management pathways for suspected subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). We would, however, urge caution in interpreting the findings presented.
