    Abstract:
    Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a complex syndrome of osseous and visceral anomalies that include the classical clinical triad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movement and low posterior hairline. It may also be associated with anomalies of the genitourinary, musculoskeletal, neurologic and cardiac systems. We experienced surgery for a case of KFS complicated with cleft palate and ankyloglossia. This boy underwent palatoplasty with a push-back method at 19 months of age, and frenumectomy at 31 months. respectively. We had to secure the field of operation and airway management involved difficult tracheal intubation. Careful postoperative care and respiratory management are also required for the patient afflicted with KFS.
