The plantar reflex is one of most important and widely tested components of the neurological examination. We describe 3 subjects with Klippel-Feil syndrome and mirror movements where unilateral cutaneous stimulation of the foot leads to flexor plantar responses in both feet. We discuss the evidence which suggests that this "crossed flexor" plantar response reveals a transcortical pathway for th...
متن کاملKlippel Feil syndrome
In 1912, Klippel and Feil (1) first reported on a patient with a short neck, a low posterior hairline, and severe restriction of neck movements due to complete fusion of the cervical spine, the classic clinical triad which is the hallmark of Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS).

متن کاملKlippel-Feil syndrome associated with aortic coarctation.
Aortic coarctation was diagnosed in a 27-year-old man with Klippel-Feil syndrome, an inborn skeletal defect of the vertebral column associated with anomalies of various organs. The presented findings are discussed in the context to the theory of vascular artery supply disruption sequence during embryogenisis as a potential explanation for the pathogenesis of morphological defects of Klippel-Fei...
متن کاملAudiological abnormalities in the Klippel-Feil syndrome.
Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is defined as a short neck with decreased movement and low posterior hairline. Radiologically, there is a failure of cervical segmentation. Deafness is a well known associated feature and may be of sensorineural, conductive, or mixed type. The audiological assessment of 44 patients with KFS is reported. Thirty five were found to have abnormalities on audiological tes...
