Tophaceous Gouty Spine without Peripheral Tophi: A Case Report

無週邊痛風之脊椎痛風併發脊髓壓迫症:一個罕見病例報告

摘要


尿酸結晶之沉積常見於慢性痛風之病患,其好發部位多為週邊骨骼,關節腔,以及關節腔旁軟組織。回顧過去文獻記載,中樞性脊髓痛風極為少見。我們報告一個罕見之男性病例具中樞性脊椎痛風併發胸椎脊髓壓迫症,卻無週邊骨骼關節之痛風病變發生。其放射學之表現,在脊髓腔攝影出現第七、八胸椎脊髓腔阻斷;而電腦斷層攝影偵測出一硬腦膜外腫塊壓迫第七、八胸椎。病患經外科治療後,漸漸痊瘉出院。病理學檢出為一罕見之脊椎痛風,其臨床病程與影像學表現於文中詳述之。

並列摘要


In chronic tophaceous gout, depositions of monosodium urate crystals commonly occur in bones, joints and periarticular tissues of the appendicular skeleton. Spinal manifestation of gout is uncommon. We have experienced an extremely rare case of tophaceous gout producing spinal cord compression with no peripheral tophi. The case promoted a review of the literature. Documented urate deposition in the spine is exceedingly rare. The clinical course and radiologic manifestations are discussed.
