This report documents a novel combination of congenital spinal anomalies and bilateral patella hypoplasia not previously described in the literature.
May aid recognition of this rare anomaly cluster; leaves open a unifying genetic diagnosis.

To our knowledge, no report of concomitant Klippel-Feil syndrome, thoracic hemi vertebrae/butterfly vertebrae bilateral patella hypoplasia, reducible atlantoaxial instability, and occipitoatlantal fusion simultaneously has been reported in the literature.
