In KF1, C1 fusion is most common, and these children often present with severe associated anomalies, including a shortened or nonexistent neck. [jamanetwork.com]

She and her father, who harbored the same variant, had characteristic clinical features (cleft palate, short stature and short extremities). Their hearing level was severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. [nature.com]
- Fatigue
There was no sweating or fatigue during feeding or normal activities. Complete clinical and cardiological examination was obtained. Objective examination of other children is in normal limits. [heighpubs.org]

- Short Neck

The image shows an elevated right shoulder due to a Sprengel anomaly, a short, webbed neck, and a low hairline. [heighpubs.org]
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. [bjmp.org]
Chapter 202 Accesses Abstract In 1912, Klippel and Feil described a patient with a short neck, a low posterior hairline, and severe restriction of motion of the neck due to complete fusion of the cervical vertebrae. [link.springer.com]
Some affected individuals may also have an abnormally short neck, restricted movement of the head and neck, and a low hairline at the back of the head (posterior hairline). [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

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]
