Investigations into the association between cervicomedullary neuroschisis and mirror movements in patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Abstract

A strong association exists between cervicomedullary neuroschisis and mirror movements in cases of KFS. Screening of patients with mirror movements may help identify clinically unsuspected KFS and may also help stratify risk within this patient population, identifying patients who might benefit from early neurosurgical intervention.
