Objective: Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is a congenital syndrome that has short neck, fusion in at least 2 cervical vertebrae, and decrease neck movements the classic triad. KFS patients may have higher risk for mechanical spinal cord injury because of unstable segments. Patients should be examined extensively, since many anomalies accompany KFS. In current article, we aimed to present our cases...

The anatomy of the first vertebra, namely atlas, has significant clinical implications. Atlas is situated between occipital bone and second cervical vertebra (axis) one main points head movement. Most congenital anomalies are diagnosed incidentally during imaging investigations can be associated with spine anomalies. neurological symptoms may include weakness in four limbs, acute neurologic def...

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is defined as a short neck with decreased movement and low posterior hairline. Radiologically, there is a failure of cervical segmentation. Deafness is a well known associated feature and may be of sensorineural, conductive, or mixed type. The audiological assessment of 44 patients with KFS is reported. Thirty five were found to have abnormalities on audiological tes...

A case is presented of a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with platybasia associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome type I. She was admitted to University Department of Neurology for clinical examination because of walking difficulties, dizziness, and intermittent vision disturbances. Neurological examination revealed a predominance of cerebellar symptomatology. Relevant diagnostic work-up included cran...

The aim of this study is to show the cranial alterations that Klippel-Feil syndrome produced in a case older than 200 years. Few paleopathological studies diagnosed as Syndrome are focused on abnormalities. A skull numbered 778, belonging Federico Olóriz Aguilera collection (Spain, 19th century AD), Universidad Complutense de Madrid, young man born town North Spain, was investigated. This crani...

INTRODUCTION Klippel-Feil syndrome is characterized by a congenital fusion of cervical vertebrae. Intracranial teratomas are nongerminomatous germ cell tumors and they account for 0.3 to 0.9% of all intracranial tumors. Teratomas with malignant transformation refer to lesions which give rise to malignant cancer of somatic type. The association between tumors of dermoid origin and Klippel-Feil m...
