Klippel-Feil syndrome occurs inone of every 42,000 births, and 60% of cases are female.KF syndrome is group of deformities that result due to failure of segmentation of cervical spine.This syndrome is associated with Sprengel deformity, high scapula, scoliosis, urinary tractanomalies, congenital heart disease & hearing lost in 30% of cases.
