Dento-skeletal implications of Klippel-Feil syndrome [a case report].
Klippel-Feil syndrome is a disorder characterized by failure of normal segmentation of any two of the seven cervical vertebrae. It presents with a high frequency of cleft lip and/or palate and occasional oligodontia in both the primary and permanent dentition, craniofacial asymmetry, maxillary constriction and velopharyngeal insufficiency.
