Spinal cord stops at L2 in adults, so L2-L3 is a bit risky. Also the line from spina iliaca posterior superior goes roughly to L4

Right ! coz spinal cord ends at L2 , so we have to do the lumbar puncture below L2 level , and the best plaace is L4-L5 to be in the safe side to avoid any spinal cord injury . shoundn't be below that level either , whhy ?! coz the inferior level of dural sac and sabarachnoid space end at this level S2..
