title: The Klippel-Feil syndrome: a case report.
abstract: Short neck and fusion of cervical vertebrae are observed in several genetic conditions and well-defined syndromes. An 8-year-old boy with a short neck, low-set posterior hairline, deafness and limited neck motion was suspected of having such a condition. Clinical and radiographic examination led to the diagnosis of Klippel-Feil syndrome.
