Abstract

Webbed neck, also known as pterygium colli, is a rare anomaly with limited documentation in the medical literature. Often associated with Turner syndrome, this condition presents challenges in complete correction due to its severity. In this article, we present a surgical correction approach for a severe case of webbed neck in a 19-year-old individual. The procedure involved a modified Z-plasty technique, resulting in a satisfactory outcome. Our technique addresses both the webbed appearance and low hairline, significantly improving the patient's neck contour.
