Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is defined as a short neck with
decreased movement and low posterior hairline. Radiologically, there is
a failure of cervical segmentation. Deafness is a well known associated
feature and may be of sensorineural, conductive, or mixed type. The
audiological assessment of 44 patients with KFS is reported. Thirty
five were found to have abnormalities on audiological testing. The
presence of other features in these patients, reviews of data from
other reports, and the need for further study are discussed.
