Summary: A 36-year-old woman presented with lower extremity paralysis. Her past medical history included gout. Conventional radiography and MR imaging revealed bone erosion and soft tissue lesions of the thoracic spine. Fluorodeoxyglucose–positron-emission tomographic (FDG-PET) images revealed hypermetabolic lesions of the thoracic spine. A CT-guided biopsy was diagnostic for inflammatory tophaceous gout. This case describes the CT, MR, and FDG-PET imaging characteristics of acute inflammatory gout. FDG-PET imaging characteristics of this disorder have not been previously described. |
