The Extent of Fusion Within the Congenital Klippel-Feil Segment

Abstract: This study provides some insight into the potential developmental aspects of the extent of segmental fusion of the cervical spine in patients with KFS. In older patients, complete fusion of involved fused segments was more prevalent in regards to C2-T1; however, such an observation was not noted for segments from O-C2. In the absence of complete segmental fusion, fusion of the posterior elements was more often noted than fusion of the anterior elements. Awareness of the varied phenotypic expression of segmenta… Show more

“…KFS is a rare congenital condition where fusion of the cervical vertebrae are common. The vertebral affection may be in the form of involvement of the two segments, a congenital block vertebra or the entire cervical spine can be affected [13,14]. The classical presentation is an individual with a triad of short neck, low posterior hairline and restricted movement of the neck [3,13].…”

“…Feil [21] в 1919 г., соб-рав 13 пациентов, предложил разде-лить их на три типа: I -с массивными костными блока-ми в шейном и грудном отделах позвоночника; II -со слиянием в одном или двух позвоночно-двигательных сегмен-тах, сочетающихся с полупозвон-ками, окципитализацией и други-ми аномалиями в шейном отделе позвоночника; III -с нарушениями сегментации в шейном в сочетании с нижне-грудным и поясничным отделами позвоночника. Samartzis et al [16,17] предложи-ли свою рентгенологическую класси-фикацию, основанную на функцио-нальных снимках. По мнению авто-Рис.…”

“…Another complication is superior migration of the odontoid into the foramen magnum, leading to basilar invagination with potentially severe neurologic compromise [7,10]. Both of these features are of concern to the anesthesiologist as such patients typically require operative intervention and endotracheal intubation.…”
