Abstract Lumbar puncture CSF pressure measurements in a large group of adults (116) having lumbar puncture (LP) for diagnostic reasons with no clinical indication of raised intracranial pressure were used to establish the normal range of CSF pressure. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure was also measured in a smaller unselected series of patients (35) with the syndrome of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). All the lumbar punctures were performed by the same highly skilled operator, a consultant nurse, to ensure accuracy of measurement.
