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.

He should stay the way he is... When he gets older, think of all the glorious down blouse and cleavage shots he could look at.

How are they going to shorten his neck?
Just break off some vertebrae and chop his spine and re-attach it?
or remove vertebrae and pull his tailbone?

The spine chopping technique could lead to full body transplants!

How bizarre.

He's way ahead in the race to establish dominance in tree top browsing ability.

Breed him.

Breed him now.

I bet he can suck himself off, why reduce it?

[CrunchyCripple]

I'd be terrified.

So, what are they going to do? Remove the extra vertebra? So he's going to have exposed spinal cord?

If they hit the spinal cord during surgery, he'll be paralyzed from the neck down.


Good luck kid. That's a scary situation to be in.
