Tophaceous gout of the spine causing spinal cord compression.

W R Murshid1, T H Moss, D F Ettles, B H Cummins.   

Abstract

Tophaceous gout of the spine rarely causes spinal cord compression. Only eight cases have been reported previously. We report a further case presenting with progressive quadriparesis caused by gouty tophi at C1, treated successfully by decompressive laminectomy and internal fixation. This case and the previously reported cases are reviewed.
