Abstract
Klippel-Feil syndrome is an inherited autosomal dominant condition and is associated with multiple congenital anomalies including short neck, complete fusion of the cervical spine and severe limitation of neck movements which can cause difficult airway. The deformity of spine pose a challenge for positioning and regional anaesthesia. In this article, we present a case of a CTEV baby scheduled for an elective surgery successfully managed with intravenous sedation and caudal block.
