Fourteen patients had a low hairline, of those, three had a short neck and a low hairline. Ten patients had a webbed and a short neck with a low hairline. Twelve patients had hypoplastic cervical vertebrae, of whom eight showed hypoplasia of all the cervical vertebrae and four showed hypoplasia of one or more cervical vertebrae.
