Klippel-Feil syndrome

Abstract

A 33-year-old male came with complaint of pain in his right shoulder, left forearm along with some posterior midline neck tenderness, after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident. His X-ray examiniation of cervical spine showed fusion of C4-5 spinal bodies along with posterior neural arches. Diagnosis of Klippel-Feil syndrome was made. He was discharged with advice on avoiding neck injuries, and was suggested to report back immediately in case of any abnormal sensations or lack of sensations in his upper limbs.
