This case report presents a successful nonoperative outcome of a type II odontoid fracture secondary to severe tophaceous gout. The patient presented with spastic quadriparesis and tophaceous involvement of the odontoid process with fracture and C1-C2 instability. He refused surgery. However, his odontoid process stabilized with the used of a collar, and he regained almost normal strength plus independence in self-care and ambulation, demonstrating that an unstable type II odontoid fracture secondary to tophaceous gout can stabilize with conservative management.
