Interesting record but bad one......Doctors say most necks have 7 vertebrae but 15 year old Chinese boy Fu
Wengui has 10. He was diagnosed with
Congenital Scoliosis and an abnormal chest frame which made his neck
grow extra three inches. This causes him a lot of pain and makes it hard
for Fu to walk. Congenital scoliosis is caused by the
bones in the spine developing abnormally in the womb.
"He always causes a stir when he's out. The vertebrae press on the
nerves in his neck and make it difficult for him to walk." his dad,
Genyou said
Fortunately for Fu, after his situation was made public, a Beijing-based
charity agreed to finance a
procedure and treatment. He will have corrective surgery that will
hopefully reduce the length of his neck and ease the discomfort.
