Abstract

|
|
A Klippel-Feil syndrome(KFS) consists of short neck, low posterior hairline and restriction of motion of the neck due to fusion of cervical vertebrae. The typical disorder results from a failure of the normal segmentation of mesodermal somites during 3-8 weeks of gestation. Since the disturbance producing short neck occurs early in embryogenesis, defects in other organ systems may occur at the same time. Common musculoskeletal anomalies that accompany KFS include scoliosis, as well as Sprengel’s deformity in as many as one-third of cases. Neurologic, cardiovascular, and urinary tract anomalies are associated with KFS. We report a case of Klippel-Feil syndrome with associates anomalies include Sprengel’s deformity.
