Entire Body System
- Goiter
[…] disorder characterized by congenital profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and a long QT interval with arrhythmia (torsade de pointes)25,26 Pendred syndrome (OMIM#274600) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital hearing loss, goiter [nature.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Regurgitation
By continuous Doppler waves and color Doppler trivial tricuspid regurgitation and hyper dynamic flow through the pulmonary, artery was noted. Family history for consanguinity and congenital heart disease is denied. [heighpubs.org]
Cardiovascular
- Cyanosis
Case 5 A 5-day-old male infant, with initials GS, from the fourth and normal controlled pregnancy, weighing 3520g, from both healthy parents, was transferred from regional hospital at our centre as a reason of central cyanosis and important heart murmur [heighpubs.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Fracture

Osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 (OMIM#166200) is an autosomal dominant inheritance disorder characterized by fractures with minimal or no trauma, blue sclera, hearing loss and otosclerosis10. [nature.com]
- Torticollis
C2 hypermobility and instability, cervical dysraphism, diastematomyelia, intracranial tumors, spinal cord abnormalities (Syringomyelia 15%), traumatic paraplegia, deformity of Sprengel (36%), omovertebral bone, ear abnormalities, hearing loss (38%), torticollis [ispub.com]
There may also be abnormal twisting of the neck (torticollis), causing the head to be rotated into an abnormal position. [rarediseases.org]
Urogenital
- Incontinence
Associated findings may include the presence of a tuft of hair or dimple over the underlying abnormality and, in some cases, leg weakness, an inability to control urination (urinary incontinence), or other findings. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
Treatment options The optimal treatment for arterial hypertension due RAS is still a controversial problem. [biomed.uninet.edu]
Medical and/or surgical treatments are dependent upon the congenital anomalies present in the syndrome. Undiagnosed hidden anomalies are close related with poor prognosis. [ispub.com]
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of KFS is directed toward the specific symptoms and associated physical findings that are apparent in each individual. [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis
A note on the prognosis of pulmonary agenesis and hypoplasia according to the side affected. [journal.chestnet.org]
Undiagnosed hidden anomalies are close related with poor prognosis. We report a case with some of the before-mentioned anomalies plus renal artery stenosis (RAS). [ispub.com]
Undiagnosed hidden anomalies are close related with poor prognosis, in other words: some hidden anomalies can be fatal.10 From our knowledge in our patient there is a novel combination of problems no reported to the medical literature previously. [biomed.uninet.edu]
Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
Etiology
Etiology The etiology of Klippel-Feil syndrome and its associated conditions is unknown. [heighpubs.org]
KTWS is an uncommon disease (around 310 cases have been published) due to a congenital malformation of the deep venous system with agenesis, hypoplasia or segmental atresia, the etiology is not clear however seems to be related with diffuse mesodermal [ispub.com]
The multiple otological diagnoses listed in Table 1 indicate a variety of potential conductive and mixed hearing loss etiologies. Among the nonotologic diagnoses, dysphagia was most common diagnosis, affecting 37 patients (39%). [jamanetwork.com]
