AI Article Synopsis

  • Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) features a classic triad of a short neck, limited head and neck movement, and a low posterior hairline, along with potential anomalies in various body systems.
  • A case of type III KFS is discussed, highlighting rib anomalies like cervical ribs, fused and bifid ribs, scoliosis, and unique kidney formation.
  • The paper aims to inform clinicians about craniofacial anomalies linked to KFS for better diagnosis and treatment planning.

Article Abstract

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a complex syndrome of osseous and visceral anomalies that include the classical clinical triad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movements and low posterior hairline. It may also be associated with anomalies of the genitourinary, musculoskeletal, neurologic and cardiac systems. We report a case of type III KFS with associated rib anomalies such as cervical rib, fusion and bifid ribs, scoliosis and fused crossed renal ectopia. The aim of this paper was to summarize all craniofacial anomalies that occur in association with KFS, so that clinicians would be aware of them during diagnosis and treatment planning.
