title: Misdiagnosed syrinx in a patient with neuroschisis and Klippel-Feil syndrome: case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome can present with a myriad of symptoms and imaging findings. Herein, we present a case of Klippel-Feil syndrome that was initially misdiagnosed with syringomyelia. We review this case and discuss the imaging findings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Neuoroschisis should be suspected in patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome and differentiated from syringomyelia.
