TI  - Traumatic vs. atraumatic 22 G needle for therapeutic and diagnostic lumbar 
      puncture in the hematologic patient: a prospective clinical trial.
PG  - 1007-8
AB  - We investigated the impact of needle type on post lumbar puncture headache (PLPH) 
      in hematologic patients undergoing LP. We prospectively compared traumatic (TN) 
      vs. atraumatic 22G needles. Twenty-seven patients underwent 48 LPs, 22 with 
      chemotherapy injection. PLPH occurred almost exclusively with TN (4% vs. 30% 
      p=0.02), irrespective of chemotherapy injection.
