A female eight year, one month old patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome has been introduced. General appearance of the patient was characterized by short neck with limited head movements, craniofacial asymmetry, low posterior hairline and a short stature. Cephalometric analysis revealed a Class I dentoskeletal pattern with an excessive mandibular plane angle and fused cervical vertebrae. Panoramic radiogram showed congenitally missing lower second premolars and right central incisor.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the fusion of cervical vertebrae, with a clinical presentation that can vary widely due to genetic and phenotypic diversity. While KFS can occur as an isolated anomaly, it is often associated with other congenital conditions, such as Sprengel deformity, which may present with or without an omovertebral bone, complicating diagnosis and management. This particular case also involves diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the fusion of cervical vertebrae. It classically presents with a triad of symptoms: limited cervical range of motion, a low posterior hairline, and a short neck. Common otolaryngological manifestations include hearing loss, dysphagia, cleft palate, jaw disorders, thyroid abnormalities, and ear malformations, highlighting the importance of KFS awareness in the field of otolaryngology.

Article Synopsis
- * A review of 43 articles from the past decade found that 72% of KFS cases exhibited congenital heart defects, with type III fusion being the most common.
- * The study emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary care team, including cardiovascular specialists, and suggests further research into KFS's origins and potential genetic markers.

Background: Klippel-Feil disease is a condition characterized by a defect in the spine, consisting of the fusion or non-separation of two or more vertebrae of the cervical tract. It affects 1 in every 50,000 newborns, and the pathogenesis remains unknown to date, although the role of certain genes that are involved in segmentation processes is being studied. A single case of a genetic Myosin Heavy Chain 3 () mutation is described here.
