Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a growth disorder of genetic origin that is present from birth and that may be associated with greater-than-usual body development.
Traits that may be observed: Large size at birth, a tongue that is bulkier than usual, asymmetry between one side of the body and the other, and abdominal wall alterations in some cases.
Why it occurs: It is due to changes in certain regions of the genetic material that regulate growth; it is not a consequence of anything the parents did or failed to do.
Who provides follow-up: The pediatrician coordinates the monitoring of the child's growth and development, drawing on other specialists when necessary. If your baby shows striking growth features, discussing it with their pediatrician makes it possible to organize appropriate follow-up.
