Abstract

Isolated gout of a great toe sesamoid has not been described previously. We present a case of gout of the medial sesamoid in a young athlete. Because a diagnosis is often elusive in patients with sesamoid pain, it is possible that other cases of gout of a hallucal sesamoid have gone unrecognized. Consideration of this diagnosis might lead to curative medical therapy precluding the need for surgical intervention.

摘要

此前尚未有孤立性拇趾籽骨痛风的相关描述。我们报告一例年轻运动员内侧籽骨痛风的病例。由于籽骨疼痛患者的诊断往往难以明确，因此可能存在其他未被识别的拇趾籽骨痛风病例。考虑这一诊断可能会带来治愈性的药物治疗，从而避免手术干预的必要性。
