Difference between Encephalopathy and Lumbar puncture

Encephalopathy vs. Lumbar puncture

Encephalopathy (from ἐγκέφαλος "brain" + πάθος "suffering") means any disorder or disease of the brain, especially chronic degenerative conditions. Lumbar puncture (LP), also known as a spinal tap, is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted into the spinal canal, most commonly to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for diagnostic testing.

Encephalopathy and Lumbar puncture have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cerebrospinal fluid, Dialysis, Epileptic seizure, Lyme disease, Neuroimaging.

Cerebrospinal fluid
