A member asked:

Do i have klippel-feil syndrome (kfs)? my x-ray shows that c6 to t1 is fused but my chiropractor didnt say it was kfs. (i was also born with a cleft lip & palate.) i have neck & shoulder tightness & pain but its not debilitating.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: Simple fusion of these vertebrae do not place someone in the KF sequence.The cleft lip/palate is occasionally seen in a non random association with KF. A consultation with a medical geneticist, usually found at children's hospitals or medical schools could review your case & sort it out. How the label will help you is not clear.
