We report the MR features of a surgically proved cervical spine involv
ed with gouty tophi in a patient with a long history of hyperuricemia,
Tophi appeared as sharply delineated areas of low signal intensity on
T1 and T2 MR images and showed intense and homogeneous signal enhance
ment on post-contrast images.
