Brain Pressure Relief with Spinal Tap

During this procedure, the provider reduces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure on the brain. The provider inserts a hollow needle or catheter into the subarachnoid space, usually in the lower back of the spinal column, to withdraw CSF. This procedure is also referred to as a spinal tap.
