Abnormal bone masses in Klippel-Feil syndrome.
Five female patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) are presented with abnormal bony masses in the mandibular ramus region. The features of KFS are described with assessment and treatment of the five patients. Although congenital duplication of mandibular rami in KFS has been previously documented, we believe this is the first series of patients with this deformity.
