Chinese Teenager, 15, to receive Surgery for unusual Neck condition

 

A Chinese teenager with an unusual neck condition will receive corrective surgery.

Fu Wengui, 15, has 10 vertebrae in his neck — three more than the average person. The condition causes him pain, stress on his nerves and makes it difficult for him to walk with the super long neck, according to REX Features.

The condition also means the young man was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis and abnormal chest frame when he was 6.

But a Beijing charity announced it will provide the money for a surgical procedure and doctors in Chaoyang Hospital are developing a treatment plan.

"I hope I can have a normal neck," he said adding he always attracts unwanted attention when he goes out in public.
