Concurrent Klippel-Feil Anomaly, Tethering and Dermoid Cyst Misinterpreted as Pott disease: A Case Report

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by the failure in segmentation of two or more vertebrae due to an abnormal division of the mesodermal somites and has been reported to be associated with cardiac and central nervous system anomalies. We report a rare occurrence of concurrent Klippel-Feil...

description Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by the failure in segmentation of two or more vertebrae due to an abnormal division of the mesodermal somites and has been reported to be associated with cardiac and central nervous system anomalies. We report a rare occurrence of concurrent Klippel-Feil anomaly, tethering and dermoid cyst of dorsal spine masquerading Potts’ disease in an eighteen years old female. In rare instances the KFS can be associated with intracranial or spinal tumors, most frequently dermoid or epidermoid cysts. KEY WORDS: Congenital spinal malformation, Klippel-Feil syndrome, dermal sinus, dermoid cysts
