Ultrasound is gaining popularity in assisting lumbar punctures (LPs). We review this technique as well as Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) from the following sites: \\xa05 Min Sono,\\xa0Sinai EM, and\\xa0PEM pearls from ALiEM.

We then delve into core content on\\xa0meningitis, encephalitis, and antiNMDA receptor encephalitis using Rosen\'s Chapter 109 and Tintinalli\'s Chapters 117 and 174 as a guide.

Thanks for listening!
