Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Pregnancy presents unique physiological challenges.
  • Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, is uncommon during gestation.
  • Literature review reveals only two prior documented cases of gout in pregnancy.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old woman at 12 weeks gestation presented with acute monoarthritis.
  • Joint aspiration confirmed the presence of monosodium urate crystals, indicative of gout.
  • The patient's gout was determined to be multifactorial in origin.

Findings:

  • This case represents one of the few documented instances of gout during pregnancy.
  • The multifactorial etiology of gout in this pregnant patient underscores complex underlying conditions.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via synovial fluid analysis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of gout presentation in pregnant individuals.
  • Highlights the importance of considering gout in pregnant patients with acute joint pain.
  • Suggests a need for further research into the management of gout during pregnancy.
