N2  - • Informed consent procedures are commonly employed prior to lumbar puncture. An understanding of the legal and ethical basis of informed consent is important in developing an acceptable approach to consent and in dealing with problems confronted when consent cannot be obtained. I review the current legal concepts in informed consent and their ethical foundation, and make recommendations to clinicians for obtaining consent for this common procedure in the ambulatory pediatric population.(AJDC. 1989;143:899-904)
