  • Title: Klippel-Feil syndrome.
    Author: Greipp ME.
    Journal: Orthop Nurs; 1992; 11(5):13-8. PubMed ID: 1408370.
    Abstract:
    Nurses working with orthopaedic clients and pediatric populations may be the first to recognize the classic triad of Klippel-Feil syndrome: short neck, limitation of neck motion, and low occipital hairline. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital malformation of the cervical vertebrae, with limited treatment options. Client/family education is vital to monitor and maintain function and to prevent neurologic deficits resulting from the fusions, accidents, or trauma.
