Abstract
We report a rare case of familial genetic disorder Klippel-Feil syndrome and Arnold-chiani Malformation caused by cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Complete reconstruction of stability and spinal cord decompression were achieved by anterior cervical discectomy, fusion and internal fixation. Although the disease of inheritance characteristics were still researched, it is necessary to operation when it presents abnormal neurological symptoms , and the effect of surgical is worthy to be affirmed.
