Photos: Meet the teenager with the longest neck in the world

Doctors say most necks have 7 vertebrae but 15 year
old Chinese boy Fu Wengui (pictured above) has 10.
As a young boy 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.
