Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The back of the neck appears slightly wider. At 40 days, a congenital heart disease was detected. No other obvious abnormalities were found, and the chromosomes are normal. Intelligence is normal, and the mental state is excellent. The parents are not first cousins. Due to not receiving a clear answer from the hospital, the person is seeking consultation. Can you please inform what tests are needed to diagnose webbed neck, which hospitals can perform these tests, and whether patients with webbed neck will definitely not grow tall?Current general condition: Facial features are well-proportioned, height is 73 cm, and weight is 8 kg.
Doctor's answer:
Osteocondylitis, also known as congenital short neck (webbed neck). The patient's cervical vertebrae are often fused together, resulting in a short and thick neck, low and wide hairline, webbed bands, and severe restriction of neck movement. Neck CT or X-ray can be performed for diagnosis.
