ABSTRACT

Background:

Spinal gout, a rare and often underdiagnosed condition, significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Therefore, the aim of the research is to analyze cases of spinal gout, including clinical features, anatomical location of spinal gout, laboratory studies, imaging studies, treatment choices, and outcomes from various cases of spinal gout.

Methods:

The author conducted a systematic literature search in the PUBMED and Science Direct databases from 2013 to 2023. We included clinical case presentations of spinal cases in adults, published in English. The three researchers independently reviewed the title and abstract of each article, and any differences in opinions were resolved through consensus. The extracted data were subsequently analyzed descriptively.

Results:

A total of 88 cases of spinal gout were obtained and studied. Out of the total reviewed cases of spinal gout, 89.77% of the subjects were male, with an average age of 51.9 years (age range 16-87 years). Common symptoms include back/neck pain (78.41%) and lower extremity weakness (37.50%). The lumbar spine is the most frequently affected region (62.50%), diagnosed primarily through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Surgery, performed in 61.36% of cases, commonly involves decompressive laminectomy. Posttreatment, symptoms resolve in 87.50% of cases.

Conclusion:

Cases of spinal gout present with a variety of symptoms, including back pain and weakness. Diagnosis typically involves an MRI examination and synovial fluid analysis for confirmation. Treatment varies and includes medication therapy and surgical interventions. A deeper understanding of these cases can assist healthcare practitioners in the management and diagnosis of spinal gout cases.
