  Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by congenital fusion of the cervical vertebrae because of a defect in the segmentation of the cervical spine between the 3rd and 8th week of pregnancy. It can be found isolated, associated with other systemic and skeletal disorders or be part of other syndromes. Most cases are sporadic, but familial cases with autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance have been described as well. Clinical triad findings (short neck, low posterior hairline, and limited cervical range of motion) are uncommon. Congenital torticollis is a form of early presentation, but rare. Imaging studies will confirm the diagnosis; in addition, further studies are required to exclude associated anomalies. Management of KFS depends on the associated features, as well as the presence of neurological symptoms because of nerve root or spinal cord compression.
  We present the case of a child with congenital torticollis as a way of KFS presentation.
