Abstract:
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a disorder characterized at birth by macrosomia, macroglossia, hypoglycemia and omphalocele. It is one of the causes of mental retardation. The gene is on the 11p15. We are reporting a 21-month-old boy with moderate mental retardation, a prominent occiput, macroglossia, crease of ear lobule and auricular pits. We believe that our patient is a new case of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
