Abstract

We present a case of Klippel-Feil Syndrome, a congenital skeletal defect where multiple cervical vertebral bodies are fused. Klippel-Feil Syndrome has multiple associated anomalies, with a notable one being Sprengel's deformity. In this case, the patient was given a diagnosis of Klippel-Feil Syndrome prenatally after suspected cervical vertebrae fusion and Sprengel's deformity were seen on both fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. Prenatal diagnosis of Sprengel's deformity has been reported once in the literature. In this report, we present imaging findings of Sprengel's deformity seen in association with Klippel-Feil Syndrome using a combination of fetal ultrasound and MRI. • Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is a defect featuring fusion of cervical vertebrae. • Sprengel's deformity should be suspected in cases of KFS. • Prenatal 3D ultrasound and MRI showed Sprengel's deformity and omovertebral bone.
