Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is one of the rare congenital overgrowth syndromes with many organ anomalies. In this article, we present a three-month-old male case diagnosed with Becwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) with the findings of postpartum physical examination and omphalocele detected by prenatal ultrasonography. Cases diagnosed with BWS; should be followed carefully in terms of respiratory and nutritional distress, neonatal hypoglycemia and development of malignancy and genetic counseling should be given to families.

Özet

Beckwith-Wiedemann Sendromu (BWS) birçok organ anomalilerinin birlikte olduğu nadir görülen konjenital aşırı büyüme sendromlarından biridir. Bu yazımızda, prenatal ultrasonografi görüntülemesinde omfalosel saptanan ve doğum sonrasında yapılan fizik muayenedeki bulgular ile Becwith-Wiedemann sendromu (BWS) tanısı konulan üç aylık erkek olgu sunulmaktadır. BWS tanısı alan olgular; solunum ve beslenme sıkıntısı, yenidoğan hipoglisemisi, malignite gelişimi açısından dikkatle takip edilmelidir ve ailelere genetik danışmanlık verilmelidir.
