We have reported a rare case of Type III Klippel Feil Syndrome having classical clinical triad with sprengel deformity and atlantooccipital assimilation. The baby was born at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Mangolpuri, New Delhi, INDIA. The detailed discussion is done in case report. Prognosis is based on radiological classification by Samartzi’s et al. which classifies KFS under 3 types with type II as commonest variety. Associated anomalies includes scoliosis or kyphosis, renal disease, sprengel deformity, loss of hearing, synkinesis or mirror movements, congenital heart defects, craniofacial malformations & skeletal abnormalities of ear, nose, mouth and larynx.
