Abstract:
Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital abnormality characterized by the fusion of the bones of the cervical spine. Its association with a gastrointestinal abnormality is rare. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl affected by Klippel-Feil syndrome associated with congenital megacolon. Klippel-Feil syndrome should be considered as any polymalformative syndrome and its management should be multidisciplinary.
