Gout is a common metabolic disease characterized by the development of arthritis and nephropathy related to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals within the joints, periarticular tissues, skin and kidneys. Tophus formation seen around the spinal column is very rare, while occurrences of spinal gout tophus without systemic gout disease are much more unique. In our study, we report a spinal gout case that presented with right sciatica without previous history of systemic gout disease.
痛风是一种常见的代谢性疾病,其特征为关节炎和肾病的发展,这与关节、关节周围组织、皮肤和肾脏中单钠尿酸盐晶体的沉积有关。脊柱周围出现痛风石非常罕见,而无系统性痛风疾病的脊柱痛风石更为独特。在我们的研究中,我们报告了一例脊柱痛风病例,表现为右侧坐骨神经痛,而无系统性痛风疾病的既往病史。
