ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Klippel-Fiel syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital skeletal disorder characterized clinically by presence of a triad of short neck, limited neck mobility (due to fused cervical vertebrae) and low posterior hair line. It was first described by Maurice Klippel and Andre Feil in 1912. Various skeletal and non-skeletal anomalies may be seen in association with KFS. CASE PRESENTATION This report aims to highlight orofacial manifestations of a 16-year-old male patient with KFS along with a rare presentation of bilateral osteoarthritic changes in the temporomandibular joint. The treatment planning and execution for such a case has also been described.CONCLUSION:
Bilateral osteoarthritic changes of temporomandibular joint have been rarely reported in KFS. This report emphasizes that early diagnosis of various associated anomalies and timely intervention through an interdisciplinary approach is very essential in the management of patients with KFS.Palavras-chave
