CSF analysis is crucial in the diagnosis of a variety of infectious and noninfectious neu-rologic conditions1. LP is a relatively safe procedure, but com-plications such as post-LP headache, infection, and bleeding may occur. Minor bleeding is characterized by the presence of red blood cells in the CSF. Spinal hematoma is a rare com-plication but its risk increases in patients with any bleeding predisposing condition. Spinal hematoma presents with back pain and neurologic findings such as weakness, reduced sen-sation, and incontinence2.
