Abstract

The Klippel-Feil syndrome is usually associated with sensorineural deafness and reports of conductive or mixed deafness are rare. Four additional cases are presented in this paper. The middle ear anomalies found in this syndrome are discussed. The results of middle ear surgery are reviewed and found to be poor.
