Elevated lumbar puncture opening pressure (ELPOP) is a reported but understudied phenomenon in aseptic meningitis. This study aimed to characterize the features of ELPOP in aseptic meningitis patients.An observational, retrospective, single-center study was conducted. We included all adult patients diagnosed with aseptic meningitis or meningoencephalitis from October 2015 to May 2017, for whom lumbar puncture opening pressure (LP OP) was measured. OP 25 cm HAmong 116 patients (61 males) included, 16 patients (14 %) had ELPOP (11 males). The average age of those patients was 32.4 years (SD = 9.8), and the mean OP was 31.7 cm HThis study fills the void of information lacking on the frequency of ELPOP in aseptic meningitis. Its association with increased BMI may be related to the pathogenesis. LP OP should be measured in all patients with aseptic meningitis. Additional research is needed to determine the threshold of tolerated intracranial pressure (ICP). |
