Klippel–Feil syndrome is a rare disease known to be associated with many musculoskeletal as well as somatic diseases. Thromboembolism is one of the complications, which although rarely described earlier with this syndrome, can be life-threatening. Earlier case reports have attributed it to structural abnormalities seen in this syndrome. We, however, report a rare instance of inherited coagulopathy seen with Klippel–Feil syndrome, leading to pulmonary thromboembolism.
