Klippel-Feil syndrome, iniencephalus, anencephalus, hindbrain hernia and mirror movements: overdistention of the neural tube. Paper-3185605. The only symptom may be mirror movement (MM).
A neural tube that fails to close cannot overdistend.
KFS results from distortion of somites by an overdistended neural tube. Paper-3185605.
In severe KFS, i.e. iniencephalus (IN) and in anencephalus (AN), the inion is in contact with the back. Paper-3185605.
In both there is hindbrain hernia and the left thorax may contain the stomach tethered to an anterior spina bifida.
The CNS anomalies are hindbrain hernia, hydrocephalus, hydromyelia, syringomyelia, meningocele, myelocele, encephalocele, and anencephalus.
Bony anomalies encountered in the 'no neck' form of Klippel-Feil syndrome ( KFS) are a wide, short, fused, bifid, retroflexed spinal canal; craniolacunia, cranium bifidum, and acrania. Paper-3185605.
