AbstractKlippel–Feil syndrome is a skeletal disorder characterised by low hairline and a short neck due to abnormal fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. Although congenital heart and lung defects are infrequent, some abnormalities such as cor triatriatum, coarctation of the aorta, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, or lung agenesis have been reported. The challenge of recognising Klippel–Feil syndrome lies in the fact that there is an association of this syndrome with other significant conditions such as skeletal, genitourinary, neurological, ear, and some cardiac defects. We report a Klippel–Feil syndrome type III 14-year-old patient with a levo-looped transposition of the great arteries. In addition, the patient had agenesis of the left upper-lung lobe.

Klippel-Feil syndrome is an entity presenting with short neck, low hairline and reduced range of motion of cervical spine. Neurenteric cyst is a congenital abnormality, in which mucus-secreting epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract is seen in the spinal axis. The association of a neurenteric cyst with Klippel-Feil syndrome has been reported very rarely. We report the case of a young man, affected by Klippel-Feil syndrome, who presented with bilateral paraplegia. Imaging of the spine revealed features suggestive of cervico-dorsal neurenteric cyst. Subsequently, surgical resection of the cysts was done, which resulted in resolution of the symptoms.

AbstractThe atlas vertebra articulates with the occipital bone of the skull by a pair of sunovial joints. Occipitalization is a congenital fusion of the atlas to the base of the occiput which reduces the foramen mangnum dimension leading to neurological complications due to compression of spinal cord. Individuals with occipitalization of the atlas may have low hairline, torticollis, restricted neck movement and abnormal short neck. During routine osteology demonstration class for undergraduate students, a total atlanto-occipital fusion was seen. The clinical implications of altanto-occipitalization may be beneficial for neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists in day-to-day clinical practice.
