A member asked:
I have mild levoconvex thoracolumbar scoliosis and i was wondering if that could have been caused by the spinal tap for meningitis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, definitely not: no. Spinal tap can be you acute and subacute headaches but will not change the curvature of the spine.
