    Author: Hasturk AE, Basmaci M, Canbay S, Vural C, Erten F.
    Journal: Eur Spine J; 2012 Jun; 21 Suppl 4(Suppl 4):S400-3. PubMed ID: 21594750.
    Abstract:
    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.
