Özet

Mirror movements are involuntary movements that occur in homologous contralateral muscles on voluntary activation. Persistent mirror movements may be associated with congenital malformations; however, familial syndromes or sporadic cases without any associated anomalies are are also noted. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital malformation that exists secondary to the failure of the normal segmentation of cervical somites during the third and eighth weeks of gestation. Hereby, we present two cases with mirror movement: isolated and associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome.
