The dysmorphic cervical spine in Klippel-Feil syndrome: interpretations from developmental biology

Abstract excerpt

The authors conducted a study to identify radiological patterns of Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS), and they present a new interpretation of the origin of these patterns based on recent advances in understanding of embryonic development of the spine and its molecular genetic control. The authors studied radiographs and computerized tomography (CT) scans as well as magnetic resonance images or CT myelograms obtained...
