Most cases (36%) were between the age of 60\u201369\u00a0years. We observed an increase in publications and cases from 1950 to the present. Most patients were from institutions in Asia (n\u2009=\u2009119, 37.8%) and North America (n\u2009=\u200996, 30.5%). Reported symptoms frequently included back pain (75%), radiating pain to extremities (27.3%), and weakness in the extremities (26.3%). The lumbar spine was most often affected. Pharmacological treatment was described for 108 (34.2%) patients. Surgery was performed for 146 (46.3%) of patients, of which 4.8% had postoperative complications. Three patients (2%) required secondary surgery for recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Published cases of spinal gout have increased over the last decades.
