Abstract

Abstract Intracranial tumors associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome usually occur in children, with spinal tumors being more common in adults affected by the syndrome. A rare case of a dermoid cyst at the craniocervical junction presenting as aseptic meningitis in an adult with Klippel-Feil syndrome is described. A review of the literature on tumors associated with this syndrome is also presented.
