Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare bone disorder. During early fetal development, the normal division of the cervical vertebrae (spinal bones in the neck) fails, resulting in Klippel-Fiel syndrome. As a result, two or more cervical vertebrae are abnormally fused from birth. Short neck, restricted upper spine movement, and low hairline (at the back) are commonly seen in such patients. Some patients may experience nerve damage and pain due to the fused vertebrae. Treatment is symptomatic and includes surgery and physical therapy.
