Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome Metopic ridge Definition: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a consistent grouping of findings of unknown etiology (cause) and characterized by a large tongue ( macroglossia ), large organs ( visceromegaly ) and large body size ( macrosomia umbilical hernia or omphalocele (hernia of the navel), and low blood sugar in the newborn (neonatal hypoglycemia Causes And Risk: The cause of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is unknown, but it appears to be genetic. Some cases may be associated with a defect in chromosome number 11. Affected children are often large at birth. Many have an abdominal wall defect, such as an umbilical hernia or omphalocele. They have a characteristic facial appearance with a gaping mouth and large tongue. Infancy can be a critical period because of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), omphalocele (when present), and an increased rate of tumor development ( and adrenal carcinoma being most common).

CANCER FACTS National Cancer Institute National Institutes of Health What is Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS)? Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is a rare overgrowth syndrome that occurs in approximately 1 in every 15,000 births. A small number of infants and children with BWS develop cancer. Most children have only a few of the many distinct characteristics of the syndrome. The most common characteristics, which can range from mild to severe, are:

It may be characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms and findings that vary in range and severity from case to case. However, in many individuals with the syndrome, associated features may include above average weight and length at birth and/or increased growth after birth (postnatally); an unusually large tongue (macroglossia); enlargement of certain abdominal organs (visceromegaly); and/or abdominal wall defects. BWS may also be characterized by low blood sugar levels within the first days of life (neonatal hypoglycemia); advanced bone age, particularly up to age four; the presence of distinctive linear grooves in the ear lobes and/or other abnormalities of the facial area; and/or an increased risk of developing certain childhood cancers.
