Joint deformity secondary to gouty arthropathy
Keywords:
rheumatic diseases, gouty arthropathy, gouty tophiAbstract
Gouty arthropathy is an inflammatory disease that mainly affects male patients over 50 years of age. Its main clinical expression from the joint point of view is the presence of a highly sensitive monoarticular inflammatory picture. When the diagnosis is late, the treatment is inadequate or there is no therapeutic adherence by the patients, the monosodium urate crystals accumulate in the form of gouty tophi that not only affect joint function, but also cause great disability and impairment of perception quality of life related to health. The rare image of a large accumulation of gouty tophi on the back of both hands is presented, which considerably limits joint mobility, functional capacity, and the perception of quality of life secondary to the patient's pharmacological non-adherence.
