頸背脂肪墊也稱為水牛駝峰。肩胛骨之間的脂肪堆積導致頸後隆起。
人們用來治療愛滋病和庫欣併發症的藥物會導致肩後脂肪堆積。其他可能的原因包括：
類固醇、肥胖、遺傳學
如果頸後隆起是由於藥物引起的，醫生可以改變類型或劑量。他們也可能建議手術切除脂肪組織。
太后駝峰是一個古老的，現在不能接受的術語時，背部頂部是嚴重的圓形，使一個駝峰的外觀上的脖子後面。導致脊柱彎曲的疾病包括脊柱後凸和骨質疏鬆。
脊柱後凸
脊柱後凸是指胸椎的彎曲度——胸椎中部的脊柱——大於50度。脊柱的自然曲線應該在20度到45度之間。
醫生可能會建議戴上背撐來矯正曲線，並進行物理治療來加强脊柱。在脊柱彎曲的極端情况下，手術可能是唯一的選擇。
骨質疏鬆症
骨質疏鬆症是一種導致骨質流失、骨折風險新增和上背部非常圓潤的疾病。當脊椎頂部薄弱的椎骨塌陷時，上背部會變圓。
諸如選擇性雌激素受體調節劑（SERMs）、雌激素替代療法（ERT）、降鈣素和雙膦酸鹽等藥物可以新增骨量和預防骨折。在這裡學習如何自然新增骨密度。
其他原因
除了骨質疏鬆和後凸，還有許多其他可能的原因駝背的脖子。其中包括：
肌肉節
過度使用，不良的姿勢，以及缺乏肌肉的釋放都會導致緊繃，疼痛的肌肉群的形成，讓人感覺像是脖子後面的駝峰。
癤瘡
當毛囊受到感染時會形成癤子和癤子，通常是金黃色葡萄球菌。大多數癤子最終會自行破裂，癒合而不留下疤痕。
囊腫
雖然人們常將囊腫描述為皮脂腺囊腫，但並不累及皮脂腺。角質物質填充這些腫塊，可能需要數年才能形成。
鼴鼠
鼴鼠也被稱為痣。這些平坦或凸起的腫塊很常見，可以發展到脖子後面。有些人的皮膚上可能有10-40個痣。
如果一個人發現痣變得更黑，更大，或形狀不同，他們應該立即與醫生交談。任何這些變化都可能是黑色素瘤的症狀，黑色素瘤是一種嚴重的皮膚癌。(1)

A dorsocervical fat pad is also known as a buffalo hump. A buildup of fat between the shoulder blades causes a hump in the back of the neck to form.
Medications that people take to treat HIV and Cushing’s syndrome can cause a buildup of fat behind the shoulders. Other possible causes include:- steroids
- obesity
- genetics
A dowagers hump is an old and now unacceptable term for when the top of the back is severely rounded, giving the appearance of a hump on the back of the neck. Conditions that can cause a curved spine include kyphosis and osteoporosis.
Kyphosis
Kyphosis is a condition in which the curve of the thoracic spine — the spine in the middle of the chest — is greater than 50 degrees. A natural curve in the spine should be between 20 and 45 degrees.
A doctor may recommend wearing a back brace to correct the curve and doing physical therapy to strengthen the spine. In extreme cases of spine curvature, surgery may be the only option.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that results in the loss of bone, an increased risk of fracture, and a very rounded upper back. The upper back rounds when the weakened vertebrae at the top of the spine collapse.
Medications such as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), calcitonin, and bisphosphonates can increase bone mass and prevent fractures.

Other causes
Apart from osteoporosis and kyphosis, there are many other possible causes of a hump on the back of the neck. These include:
Muscle knots
Overuse, poor posture, and lack of muscle release can lead to the formation of tight, painful clusters of agitated muscles that feel like a hump on the back of the neck.
Boils and carbuncles
Boils and carbuncles form when hair follicles get infected, usually with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Most boils eventually burst on their own and heal without leaving a scar.
Cysts
Although people often describe cysts as sebaceous cysts, they do not involve the sebaceous glands. Keratin material fills these lumps, which may take years to develop.
Moles
Moles are also known as nevi. These flat or raised bumps are very common and can develop on the back of the neck. Some people may have 10–40 moles on their skin.
If a person notices a mole becoming darker, bigger, or different in shape, they should speak to a doctor urgently. Any of these changes could be a symptom of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer.(1)
