Williams-Beuren syndrome is a rare syndrome for which diagnosis is usually made during early childhood. It includes mental retardation, friendly outgoing personality, typical facies, supravalvular aortic stenosis and hypercalcemia.
We report the case of a newborn whose gastroesophageal reflux led to the diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome. Hypercalcemia is known to precipitate digestive symptoms but was not present in this case.
Announcing such a diagnosis in the neonatal period is difficult and may destabilize the family, but at least allows early care of the cardiovascular pathologies that may lead to death.
威廉姆斯-贝伦综合征是一种罕见综合征,通常在幼儿期确诊。它包括智力发育迟缓、友善外向的性格、典型面容、主动脉瓣上狭窄和高钙血症。
我们报告一例新生儿,其胃食管反流导致了威廉姆斯-贝伦综合征的诊断。已知高钙血症会引发消化症状,但该病例中不存在高钙血症。
在新生儿期宣布这样的诊断很困难,可能会使家庭不安,但至少能对可能导致死亡的心血管疾病进行早期治疗。
