Abstract

Sprengel's deformity is characterized by the congenital migration of the scapula superiorly in relation to the thoracic cage. Other congenital anomalies, such as Klippel-Feil syndrome, may occur in combination with Sprengel's deformity. We report on a case of Sprengel's deformity with a huge bilateral omovertebrae, which was combined with the clinical features of Klippel-Feil syndrome, including cervical fusion, short neck, low posterior hairline, and limitation of neck motion. However, no other deformities or functional defects were observed.
