Hi yeti,

Chances of a MS diagnosis from a Lumbar Puncture(LP) (spinal tap)? Depends on what the result shows

I received a definte diagnosis of MS (a long time ago) after my LP, which came back positive for o-bands. My diagnosis was based on the positive LP, neuro exam and symptoms. Every other test I had came back either inconclusive or negative.

Good Luck!
