CHIMBORAZO CAMBO, Amada Catalina; BENAVIDES BAUTISTA, Paola Adriana e GUERRA ZAMBRANO, Augusta Nataly. Lumbar puncture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, precautions and suggestions. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.2 Epub 01-Out-2022. ISSN 1817-5996.
Spondyloarthropathies are a group of rheumatic diseases characterized by the presence of a chronic and sustained inflammatory process. Among its clinical manifestations and complications, the seizure of the spine is included where there is calcification of the vertebral ligaments that considerably limits the mobility of the different segments of the spine. The anatomical and functional changes that are generated in these segments bring with them difficulties when performing procedures such as lumbar puncture. This research aims to describe the precautions, suggestions and recommendations to perform lumbar puncture for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. The main results focus on the identification and socialization of precautions and suggestions to take into account when performing a lumbar puncture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
