Short neck deformity is caused by the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae, resulting in a reduced number of cervical vertebrae, shortened neck, and limited movement of the neck and head. Patients have shorter necks than normal, lower hairlines at the occiput, and restricted head movement. Conservative treatment can be adopted first if there are no symptoms of nerve compression, such as skull traction or occipital-mandibular band traction, followed by fixation with a cervical-thoracic cast after symptoms disappear.
