Regarding CSF test

2022-12-15 11:03:42
Hello, My mother got seizure and we did tests like MRI, EEG. EEG report was abnormal on next day of seizure but after repeating test again in next 48 hour it is normal. Doc has suggested CSF test for my mother. Is this safe considering her age 66. She was also on blood thinner after seizure but doc had stopped now.

CSF test is generally safe. Since she is on blood thinners, added precautions are required by the doctor. Please give her plenty of fluid for 24 hours following the CSF test. Headache at the back side of head may last for 48 hours following the test.
Next Steps
Please consult for proper evaluation and treatment.
