As an alternative to lumbar puncture for acquisition of cerebrospinal fluid, lateral cervical puncture is simple to perform and appears to have less potential for major complications than suboccipital puncture. A small number of normal cerebrospinal fluid samples from lateral cervical puncture were analyzed and were within the normal range of fluid obtained by lumbar puncture.
作为获取脑脊液的腰椎穿刺的替代方法，侧颈穿刺操作简单，与枕下穿刺相比，出现重大并发症的可能性似乎更小。对少量通过侧颈穿刺获得的正常脑脊液样本进行了分析，其结果在通过腰椎穿刺获得的脑脊液的正常范围内。
