    Abstract:

We report a 7-year-old girl with typical findings of Klippel-Feil syndrome and Poland anomaly. To the best of our knowledge a case of Klippel-Feil syndrome and Poland anomaly has not been described before, although a combination of Poland, Klippel-Feil and Moebius anomalies has been reported in the literature.
