Article Abstract
Cochlear implantation (CI) can be safely performed in patients with syndromic hearing loss. Here we present a case of CI in a child with Klippel-Feil syndrome with various skeletal, extraskeletal, cochleovestibular and Arnold-Chiari malformations. Multidisciplinary approach and good preoperative imaging play a key role in planning for surgery.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a congenital anomaly involving the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. It is characterized by a low hairline at the nape of the neck, a short neck, and a limited range of motion. Here, we present the case of a 10-year-old girl who suffered brain trauma in a motor vehicle accident and subsequently experienced persistent occipital headaches and dizziness.

A woman in late adolescence presented with numbness and tingling in both upper limbs and exertional dyspnoea. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) with multiple cervical vertebral fusions, Sprengel's deformity, right lung hypoplasia and dextrocardia. Initial management with bronchodilators and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation led to symptomatic improvement.

Case: A 26-year-old female with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) type III underwent cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) at C5-6 for radiculopathy unresponsive to conservative care. Initial improvement was followed by recurrence of symptoms despite no implant failure or adjacent segment disease. At 11 months, she underwent revision to anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF), resulting in full symptom resolution.

Background And Objectives: Recommendations guiding participation in sports for athletes with congenital cervical spine pathology are lacking, and management of these athletes remains challenging. Thus, the objective was to perform a modified Delphi consensus survey of expert opinion on return-to-sport (RTS) decisions in athletes with congenital cervical spine pathologies.
Methods: A cross-sectional, modified Delphi consensus survey investigating RTS decisions in athletes with various types of congenital cervical spine pathology was undertaken.
