Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can lead to pulmonary and systemic inflammation, resulting in impaired gas exchange, sepsis, organ failure, and an increased risk of death. Corticosteroids have excellent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects that could mitigate some of the inflammation caused by pneumonia. There have been several randomized trials that have shown glucocorticoids have positive effects in patients with CAP.

Lumbar drain catheter placement is a common procedure performed by neurologists and neurosurgeons. Although it is often performed without image guidance, interventional radiologists are called in cases of difficult anatomy or multiple failed attempts. This procedure is used to manage a variety of conditions, such as cranial or spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, posttraumatic CSF rhinorrhea, and refractory intracranial hypertension (1).
