Sir, T triad of short neck, low posterior hairline and severe restriction of cervical motion is a classic definition of KlippelFeil syndrome. Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae and is believed to result from faulty segmentation along the embryo’s developing axis during the second to eighth week of gestation. This is commonly assoc...

Meningomyelocele: A Rare Case Report We report a case of Klippel-Feil syndrome associated with an anterior cervical meningomyelocele. A 36-year old female patient was referred for evaluation of bilateral symmetric small muscle wasting in both hands. MR images (Fig 1) showed fusion of cervical vertebrae and neural arches. There was an anterior meningomyelocele at the level of C6 and C7. The cerv...

Klippel-Feil syndrome is known by the classic triad of shortness of the neck , limitation of neck movements, and a low posterior hairline. There are often accompanying cervical spinal abnormalities such as kyphoscoliosis as well as urogenital and cardiac abnormalities. Presented here we have a 20 year old young man with hypoesthesia and decreased motor function in the right hand. The probl...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Congenital clefts and aplasias of the atlas vertebra are rare. A nonfused posterior arch occurs in 4% of the population; in contrast, a nonfused anterior arch occurs in only 0.1%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of the combination of anterior arch aplasia and a cleft of the posterior arch of the atlas associated with Klippel-Feil and Treache...

BACKGROUND: Alterations in the normal sequence of development of müllerian ducts lead to a wide spectrum of reproductive tract abnormalities. A rare form of lack of development, regarding a short tract of the müllerian ducts, leads to the isolated agenesis of the uterine cervix. Anomalies identified among patients with müllerian agenesis include skeletal deformities (i.e., scoliosis of the spin...
