title: Klippel-Feil Syndrome With Spinal Dysraphism: Diastematomyelia on 18F-NaF Bone PET, CT, and MRI Imaging.
abstract: A 49-year-old woman with known Klippel-Feil syndrome had a CT scan for staging of stage IIIA invasive carcinoma of the left breast. She was found to have cervicothoracic spinal dysraphism with diastematomyelia. An F-NaF bone PET done as part of the metastatic workup showed the characteristic sagittal bone spur, and MRI demonstrated a complete split of the cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord, previously unknown to the patient.
