Genitourinary anomalies associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome

Abstract

Of thirty-nine patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome, twenty-five (64 per cent) had significant genitourinary-tract anomalies demonstrated by intravenous urogram and physical examination. The incidence of these anomalies in Feil's three types of the syndrome was essentially the same, unilateral renal agenesis being the most common. A routine intravenous urogram is indicated in patients with this syndrome.
