Letter to the Editor: Ultrasound Measurement of the Intervertebral Space in the Lateral Recumbent Versus Sitting Positions

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article “Ultrasound Measurement of the Intervertebral Space in the Lateral Recumbent Versus Sitting Positions” by Dorothy Shi et al. (1). It was fortunate to read this manuscript and the authors’ efforts should be commended. We agree with the utmost conclusion that the size of the interspinous space in the seated position on ultrasound was found to be larger than the lateral recumbent position, suggesting that lumbar puncture may be more successful in the seated position (1).
