Popis:	Lumbar puncture had been used as a diagnostic procedure long before Ayer, in 1920, first attempted tapping the cisterna magna in man. In February 1922, Sicard and Forestier called attention to the possibility of injection of Lipiodol into the sub-arachnoid space with comparative safety, but Dandy had preceded this by air injections. In 1924, Sicard and Laplane showed that it was possible to inject into the lumbar region of the spinal canal and invert the patient. Since this time, injection into the sub-arachnoid space as a diagnostic procedure has been practised many times, and is now an accepted and valuable method. The cord itself extends to the lower border of the first lumbar vertebra, where it ends in a cone-shaped extremity—the conus medullaris. From the apex of the cone arises the filum terminale, which ends on the surface of the first piece of the coccyx. The filum is intra-dural only as far as the level of the second sacral vertebra. In the early embryo, the nerve roots pass out to the inter-vert...
