A report of case of a patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is presented. The macroglossia associated with the syndrome necessitated long-term dental follow-up to prevent and treat problems with occlusion, speech, and esthetic appearance that might develop. Early intervention might be required if feeding or respiratory difficulties, resulting from the macroglossia, arise. The diagnosis of the syndrome should alert the dentist to the increased incidence of intra-abdominal malignancies and the need for periodic observation.
本文报告了一例贝克威思-维德曼综合征患者的病例。该综合征相关的巨舌症需要长期的牙科随访，以预防和治疗可能出现的咬合、言语及美观方面的问题。如果因巨舌症导致喂养或呼吸困难，则可能需要早期干预。该综合征的诊断应提醒牙医注意腹腔内恶性肿瘤发病率的增加以及定期观察的必要性。
