Abstract EN

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by an overgrowth, macroglossia, exomphalos, and predisposition to embryonal tumors.

Central nervous abnormalities associated with BWS are rare.

We describe a one-day-old Congolese female who presented meningocele associated with BWS phenotype.
