Özet

A female eight year, one month old patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome has been introduced. General appearance of the patient was characterized by short neck with limited head movements, craniofacial asymmetry, low posterior hairline and a short stature. Cephalometric analysis revealed a Class I dentoskeletal pattern with an excessive mandibular plane angle and fused cervical vertebrae. Panoramic radiogram showed congenitally missing lower second premolars and right central incisor.
