Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by the fusion of one or more cervical vertebrae leading to limitations in the rotation, extension, and flexion of the neck and possible neurological symptoms. Other abnormalities can also be found in these patients. The anatomy of the vasculature can be abnormal in these patients including variations in the course and origin of the vertebral arteries potentially leading to intra-operative complications. Herein, we report a case of Klippel-Feil syndrome and detail the course of the vertebral arteries in an osteological specimen.
克-费二氏综合征是一种先天性疾病,其特征为一个或多个颈椎融合,导致颈部旋转、伸展和弯曲受限,并可能出现神经症状。这些患者还可能有其他异常情况。这些患者的血管解剖结构可能异常,包括椎动脉走行和起源的变异,这可能导致术中并发症。在此,我们报告一例克-费二氏综合征病例,并详细描述一具骨骼标本中椎动脉的走行。
