Case Report: Intradural gout tophi without systemic gout symptoms
This is the third documented case of gout tophi occurring within the spinal dura. In a literature review, it was found that none of these three patients with intradural gouty tophi had systemic gout manifestations or hyperuricemia, which is a crucial finding. As it is challenging to diagnose intradural gout, awareness among physicians must be increased to optimize the treatment of, and outcomes for, these patients.
