OUTPATIENT MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH BECKWITHWIEDEMANN SYNDROME (CASE REPORT)
Abstract
Beckwith - Wiedemann syndrome (ICD-10 code: Q 87.3) is a congenital disease characterized by macrosomia, macroglossia, hernia umbilical cord, overgrowth in the first few years of life, asymmetry of the body and a predisposition to embryonal tumor development. The disease was first described by American pathologist J.V. Beckwith in 1963 and, independently of him, by the German pediatrician H.R. Wiedemann in 1964. Thereafter, it was named the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome to honor of these scientists [1--4].
