    Spinal gout is a rare manifestation of gout, characterized by monosodium urate crystal accumulation in spinal components.

    A 59-year-old man with spinal gout underwent a two-stage circumferential reconstruction to address lumbar deformity and neurological deficits.

  • 3

    The surgical procedure included oblique lumbar interbody fusion followed by endoscopic decompression and transpedicular instrumentation fixation.

  • 4

    Post-surgery, the patient achieved normal ambulation and demonstrated successful fusion at the L3–4 lumbar segment.

    Minimally invasive surgical techniques show promise in managing spinal deformities due to gout, though literature on this is limited.
