INTRODUCTION In Klippel Feil syndrome, classically there is a triad of short neck, a low posterior hairline and a limited range of neck movements especially of lateral bending. In fewer than 50% of cases have all the three elements. CASE REPORT In the present case we have found congenital Scoliosis, Sprengel deformity and there were no evidence of renal disease, congenital heart disease and n...

The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a combination of venous and capillary malformations associated with soft tissue and/or bony limb hypertrophy, with or without lymphatic malformations. Although persistent foetal veins are rare, the persistence of the lateral marginal vein is a common association in this syndrome. It results in venous hypertension, which gives rise to venous varicosities, which ...

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) was first described by Maurice Klippel and Andre Feil in 1912 in a patient with congenital fusion of cervical vertebrae. KFS is a complex syndrome of osseous and visceral anomalies that include the classical clinical triad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movements and low posterior hairline. It is associated with several defects, such as deafness, either c...

In this review, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatments of pediatric mass lesions the fundus were summarized which are seen less often. Idiopathic choroidal granuloma, medulloepithelioma, juvenile xanthogranuloma, fibrous histiocytoma, intraocular teratoma, ophthalmic findings Klippel–Trenaunay–Weber syndrome summarized. These should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis during ocular...

the klippel-trenaunay syndrome, first reported in 1910, is a triad of cutaneous hemangioma, varicose veins, and soft tissue or bony hypertrophy. the varicosities are extensive involving the tributaries of the greater or lesser saphenous systems. arteriogram are normal with no evidence of arteriovenous fistulas. multiple ligation and stripping may worsen the condition, and treatment consists of ...

Technological advances have made more options available for surgical intervention in spinal disorders. From spinal fusion to artificial disc implantation, these advancements have brought great benefits, allowing preservation of spinal motion and flexibility after intervertebral discectomy. Yet the use of artificial discs as a treatment for congenital spinal disorders has been documented in only...

The Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital malformation of the skull flap involving complex cervical vertebrae and organs, characterized by a classic triad: short neck, limitation of movement of the head due to cervical spine fusion and low hairline in occipital region. It results from an error in the axial skeleton segmentation of the embryo; its incidence is estimated at 1/40,000-42,000 births...

The authors described the case of a 39-year-old man with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome, who had an extradural meningeal cyst expanding into intervertebral foramen of lumbar 2 and 3 vertebrae. The patient suffered from low back pain radiating to the left lower extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a huge extradural meningeal cyst growing through intervertebral foramen far laterally. A wide...

Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is a complex, congenital condition, originally described by Maurice Klippel and Andre Feil in 1912.1 It is characterized by congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. Because of the abnormal fusion process and altered spinal biomechanics with undue motion at the non-fused cervical segment, adjacent to fused segments, such individuals are predisposed to abno...
