Abstract
Tophaceous gout of the spine rarely causes spinal cord compression. Only eight cases have been reported previously. We report a further case presenting with progressive quadriparesis caused by gouty tophi at C1, treated successfully by decompressive laminectomy and internal fixation. This case and the previously reported cases are reviewed.Keywords
