Cervicothoracic Diastematomyelia with Klippel-Feil Syndrome

Introduction

Klippel-Feil syndrome is defined as the congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. Klippel-Feil syndrome can be asymptomatic but numerous associated anomalies, including malformations of the renal, cardiovascular, central nervous, urogenital, ocular, craniofacial, otolaryngeal and skeletal systems have been described [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Diastematomyelia is defined as a double cord malformation that mainly occurs in the lower thoracic and lumbar regions. Cervical examples are rare [4] [10] [11] [12]. We present the case of a 14-year old girl with Klippel-Feil syndrome and associated cervico-thoracic diastematomyelia, scoliosis and Sprengel's deformity with omovertebral bone.
