贝克维斯-魏德曼综合征是一种影响身体许多部位的疾病。它被归类为一种过度生长综合征，这意味着受影响的婴儿比正常婴儿要大得多（巨大儿），并且在童年时期往往比同龄人高。大约在8岁时，生长开始放缓，患有这种疾病的成年人并不特别高。在一些患有贝克威氏综合征的儿童中，身体一侧或另一侧的特定部位可能会异常地变大，导致不对称或不均匀的外观。这种不寻常的生长模式，被称为半增生，通常随着时间的推移变得不那么明显。
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a condition that affects many parts of the body. It is classified as an overgrowth syndrome, which means that affected infants are considerably larger than normal (macrosomia) and tend to be taller than their peers during childhood. Growth begins to slow by about age 8, and adults with this condition are not unusually tall. In some children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, specific parts of the body on one side or the other may grow abnormally large, leading to an asymmetric or uneven appearance. This unusual growth pattern, which is known as hemihyperplasia, usually becomes less apparent over time.
