Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by disrupted genomic imprinting, leading to abnormal regulation of fetal growth. BWS can present at any stage of life; it is most commonly diagnosed during the neonatal period or early childhood. The cardinal features of the syndrome include macrosomia, macroglossia, abdominal wall defects, and hyperinsulinism. We have discussed the case report of a 2-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with BWS at the time of birth, with a chief complaint of a large tongue and difficulty in deglutition. We have also discussed the systemic, orofacial, and dental manifestations along with comprehensive treatment planning to aid in living an overall healthy life. Early diagnosis helps in preventing further complications of the disease and acts as a guide for future treatment planning. Dentists can provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, offer interventions to manage macroglossia, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to address craniofacial abnormalities and associated functional limitations.
