Foraminal stenosis and radiculopathy secondary to tophaceous gout: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
December 2023
3Department of Neurosurgery, Allegheny Health Network, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Background: Tophaceous gout is a severe form of gout that results in the formation of large nodules, or tophi, in the affected joints and surrounding tissues. Gouty tophi in the spine have a constellation of presentations that often mimic other pathologies and may not be easily discernable from more common pathologic processes.
Observations: A 47-year-old female with a history of chronic renal disease, obesity, gout, inflammatory polyarthritis, and multiple sclerosis presented with 6 months of low-back pain and lumbar radiculopathy affecting the right lower extremity.

Department of Spinal Surgery, Quanzhou Orthopedic-Traumatological Hospital, Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China.
Rationale: Intraspinal gout tophus in the lumbar vertebral canal associated with gouty arthritis is rare. We present 2 cases with the first manifestations of a sequestrated intervertebral disc and an extradural tumor, and histopathologically proven to be gouty deposits in the lumbar vertebral canal.
Patient Concerns: The 2 patients presented with typical radiculopathy symptoms and a positive straight leg raise.

Department of Ortho-Spine Surgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Background: Gout is a common metabolic disorder of purine metabolism, causing arthritis in the distal joints of the appendicular skeleton. Spine involvement is rare, and very few cases of spinal gout have been reported. The authors present a rare case of axial gout with tophaceous deposits in the thoracic spinal canal resulting in cord compression and mimicking a meningioma.
