Abstract

Klippel–Feil syndrome (KFS) is a complex syndrome associated with osseous and visceral anomalies that include the classical clinical triad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movements and low posterior hairline. Multiple congenital anomalies have been associated with this disease. We reported the fi rst case of KFS presented with the symptoms of duodenal obstruction and annular pancreas detected intraoperatively
