ABSTRACT

Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare congenital bone malformation characterized by the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae and occasionally thoracic or lumbar vertebrae as a result of incomplete cervical segmentation during embryonic development. We present a 48-year-old man, with lumbar pain of 15 years of prickling type evolution, sometimes of electric shock type, which after pain increased pain and presented paresthesias in the left pelvic limb, without evidence of motor deficit, sensory or involvement to sphincters. Magnetic resonance showed fusion of L2-L3-L4 in the anterior and middle third, with Klippel-Feil Syndrome type 3. Studies report that the majority of diagnoses are incidental. Few cases of patients with Klippel-Feil Syndrome type 3 with lumbar fusion have been reported. An opportune diagnosis is important to correct anomalies that may accompany it and avoid severe complications.
