Spanish term

eje longitudinal dural

Spanish to English Other Medical (general)
Si empleamos un trocar con bisel, este irá paralelo al **eje longitudinal dural** (cara hacia arriba si el paciente está en decúbito lateral).
This is about lumbar puncture.

I've got "longitudinal axis". But can't find any references combined with dural.

Thanks in advance.

Step 2: insert the needle
Next, a hollow needle is inserted between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae into your spinal canal (Fig. 1). The needle doesn't touch the nerves of your spinal cord. Your doctor will collect between 5 to 20 ml of cerebrospinal fluid in 2 to 4 tubes.

Figure 1. A needle is placed in the subarachnoid space at the level of the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebra to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid.

You will probably feel pressure when the needle is inserted, and some people feel a sharp stinging sensation when the needle goes through the protective dural layer that surrounds the spinal cord. Although you may feel some discomfort, it is important that you lie still. Let your doctor know if you are feeling pain.

dural axis

I also found "dural long axis" ("bevel parallel to the dural long axis" in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14639152), but "long" or "longitudinal" actually seems kind of redundant.

Or, from Spanish authors: "When the needle was inserted with its bevel parallel to the axis of the dural sac..." (http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/75/6/893.full.pdf)
