Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare disorder in which any of the 7 neck vertebra (usually 2) are fused together. It is a congenital disorder, which means it's present at birth and most likely occurred while the individual was still a fetus or embryo.
Signs include a short, webbed neck, low hairline at the back of the head, and restricted mobility of the neck. Note that not everyone with it has all three symptoms, usually 1 or two are present. Individuals may also have other conditions found in the area of the body, like Sprengel's shoulder, when one should blade is slightly higher than the other.
KFS can also have impacts on other areas of the body, like heart defects and kidney problems. Because KF involves vertebra, it can also have damage to the central nervous system, like brain abnormalities. Despite these problems, having KFS is usually not fatal. It is indeed a rare condition, thought to occur in 1 out of 40,000-45,000 babies born worldwide, but this isn't certain and the disease's true prevalence remains largely unknown.
