  • Title: Preaxial polydactyly and other defects associated with Klippel-Feil anomaly.
    Author: da-Silva EO.
    Journal: Hum Hered; 1993; 43(6):371-4. PubMed ID: 8288268.
    Abstract:
    A 5-year-old girl with Klippel-Feil anomaly and bimanual polydactyly of triphalangeal thumb is described. The main findings include--in addition to the classical congenital fusion of cervical vertebrae and the clinical triad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movement and low-set posterior hairline--several associated abnormalities: scoliosis, spina bifida occulta, absence of ribs, conductive hearing loss, mirror movements, unilateral renal ectopia with dilation of the collecting system, and microtia. The hand malformation appears to represent a previously unreported defect associated with Klippel-Feil anomaly.
