ABSTRACT

La gota es una enfermedad reumática inflamatoria que se debe al depósito de cristales de urato monosódico en las articulaciones. En su evolución clínica se distingues dos formas: la fase aguda caracterizada por un proceso inflamatorio monoarticular agudo de gran sensibilidad, y la fase crónica o de mantenimiento, cuyo elemento fundamental es la acumulación de cristales de urato monosódico llamados tofos gotosos. Estos se presentan con mayor frecuencia en el dorso de los dedos, a nivel articular y en el pabellón auricular. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino, de 47 años, con diagnóstico de gota de 5 años de evolución y con tratamiento irregular. Este paciente presentó tofos gotosos en localizaciones infrecuentes que limitaron su capacidad funcional. Este caso demuestra la necesidad de un diagnóstico oportuno y una adecuada adherencia al tratamiento, por lo que se considera importante para la comunidad médica, especialmente los profesionales de la salud que atienden a pacientes con artropatía gotosa(AU)´


Gout is a rheumatic, inflammatory disease that is generated by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals at the joint level. Two forms can be distinguished in its clinical evolution: the acute phase characterized by an acute monoarticular inflammatory process of great sensitivity, and the chronic or maintenance phase where the fundamental element is the presence of accumulations of monosodium urate crystals called gouty tophi. These occur more frequently on the back of the fingers, at the joint level and in the auricle. This paper presents the case of a 47-year-old male patient, diagnosed with gout for 5 years and with irregular treatment, who presented gouty tophi in infrequent locations that limit the patient's functional capacity. The case is presented considering it important for the medical community; especially health professionals caring for patients with gouty arthropathy(AU)´

ABSTRACT

La gota es el trastorno del metabolismo de las purinas que se caracteriza por acumulación de ácido úrico por aumento de su producción o por disminución de su excreción. Con el paso del tiempo, el exceso de urato monosódico permite que se deposite en diferentes tejidos del organismo; siendo particularmente infrecuente la presentación de tofos a nivel facial. Paciente masculino adulto de 56 años, con antecedente de gota hace 38 años y presencia de tofos gotosos a nivel de miembros superiores e inferiores que acude por cuadro de 4 años de evolución de lesión indurada, levemente dolorosa a nivel de tercio medio de dorso nasal que ha ido aumentando de tamaño, que causa deformidad de pirámide nasal y leve sensación de obstrucción nasal bilateral por lo que se planifica resolución quirúrgica. El análisis histopatológico de las muestras enviadas bajo exéresis quirúrgica confirma que tejido enviado corresponde a tofo gotoso. Los tofos gotosos pueden aparecer en diferentes tejidos, como cartílagos, membranas y líquido sinovial, superficies articulares, siendo excepcionalmente raro, en el miocardio, válvulas mitral y aórtica, ojos, nariz y médula espinal. El lugar de presentación puede ser muy variable, al igual que su tamaño


Gout is a purine metabolism disorder characterized by accumulation of uric acid due to increased production or decreased excretion. Over time, excess monosodium urate allows it to be accumulated in different body tissues, although the occurrence in the facial area is particularly infrequent. A 56- year-old male patient with a gout antecedent from 38 years ago that presented gouty tophi at the level of the upper and lower limbs seek medical advice due to an indurated slightly painful lesion at the level of the middle third of the nasal dorsum that started 4 years before and has been increasing in size. The lesion was causing nasal pyramid deformity and a slight sensation of bilateral nasal obstruction, for which surgical resolution is planned. The histopathological analysis of the samples sent under surgical exeresis confirms that the tissue sample corresponds to gouty tophi. Gouty tophi can appear in different tissues, such as cartilage, membranes and synovial fluid, joint surfaces, being exceptionally rare in the myocardium, mitral and aortic valves, eyes, nose and spinal cord. The place of presentation can be very variable, as well as its size

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente de 54 años de edad, con antecedentes de gota desde hacía varios años, y afectación de la piel por gota tofácea crónica, quien acudió a la consulta de Ortopedia y Traumatología del Centro de Diagnóstico Integral con quirófano "Calilo García" en el Estado de Apure, de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, por presentar lesión microquística dolorosa en el dorso de la falange distal del dedo índice de la mano derecha. El diagnóstico se confirmó mediante el estudio histopatológico del tumor.


The case report of a 54 years patient, with a history of gout for several years, and damage of the skin due to chronic gout tophus is presented, who went to the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of "Calilo García" Center for Comprehensive Diagnosis with operating room in the Apure State, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, for a microcystic painful lesion in the back of the distal phalange of the index finger of the right hand. The diagnosis was confirmed by means of the histopatological study of the tumor.

ABSTRACT

A gota axial pode afetar todos os segmentos da coluna vertebral. Ela se manifesta como dor nas costas, dor associada com sintomas neurológicos, e como comprometimento neurológico sem dor em 17,9%, 75,8% e 4,2% dos casos, respectivamente. Essas manifestações foram a primeira apresentação da gota em muitos pacientes. Embora radiografias, bem como tomografia computadorizada e especialmente ressonância magnética, possam ser muito sugestivos, análises histopatológicas, citológicas e pesquisa de cristais são o padrão ouro de diagnóstico. Na maioria dos casos que envolveram manifestações neurológicas, o paciente foi submetido à cirurgia, levando a resultados satisfatórios. Há, no entanto, alguns relatos de recuperação total após o tratamento clínico habitual para gota, o que sugere que esse tratamento pode ser a opção inicial para os indivíduos com histórico de gota e sinais radiológicos de envolvimento axial.


Axial gout can affect all segments of the spine. It is manifested as back pain, as pain associated with neurological symptoms, and as neurological impairment without pain in 17.9%, 75.8% and 4.2% of cases, respectively. These manifestations were the first presentation of gout in many patients. Although x-rays as well as computed tomography and especially magnetic resonance scans can be very suggestive, histopathological, cytological and crystal analyses are the diagnostic gold standard. In most cases involving neurological manifestations, the patient underwent surgery, leading to satisfactory results. There are, however, some reports of full recovery following the usual clinical treatment for gout, suggesting that such treatment may be the initial option for those subjects with a history of gout and radiological findings of axial involvement.

ABSTRACT

O acometimento axial pela gota é um evento raro, e o envolvimento da coluna torácica foi descrito em apenas 17 casos na literatura. Apresentamos um caso de paciente do sexo masculino de 48 anos com história de gota, sob tratamento irregular com alopurinol e colchicina, que desenvolveu paraplegia aguda decorrente de compressão medular por tofo gotoso. Realizou-se o diagnóstico por meio de ressonância magnética e anatomia patológica. Foi tratado com antiinflamatórios e descompressão cirúrgica com melhora importante, porém parcial. Apesar de o acometimento medular pelo tofo ser um evento raro, deve ser considerado nos casos de síndrome de compressão medular em pacientes com antecedente de gota.


Axial gout is a rare condition and the involvement of the thoracic spine has been described only 17 times in the literature. This paper presents the case of a 48 year-old male patient with a history of gout, under irregular treatment with allopurinol and colchicines, who developed acute paraplegia resulting from spinal cord compression by tophaceous gout. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging and anatomic pathology. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and surgical decompression and showed important, albeit partial, improvement. Thus, although tophi rarely affect the spinal cord, they should be considered as a possibility in cases of spinal cord compression syndrome in patients with a history of gout.
