New-Onset Rapidly Progressive Polyarticular Tophaceous Gout After Cerebrovascular Accident

Abstract

We present a novel case of new-onset, polyarticular tophaceous gout, which developed on the patient's hemiparetic side several days after she was diagnosed with a middle cerebral artery stroke. This is the first case of an acute gout flare in a patient without history of gout. She was successfully treated with anakinra.
