Congenital cervical fusion deformity

As early as 1912, the congenital fusion deformity of the cervical spine reported by Klippel and Feil (hence the name Klippel-Feil syndrome) is composed of three major clinical features of short neck, low posterior line and limited cervical spine movement. Symptoms require treatment. Such patients are often accompanied by other deformities.
