title: Multiple haemangiomas, diaphragmatic eventration and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: an unusual association.
abstract: A 6-month-old girl with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, multiple haemangiomas (axillary, laryngeal, pulmonary and hepatic) and diaphragmatic eventration was reported. All tumours responded to treatment with propranolol. The surgical correction of diaphragmatic eventration was crucial to a better outcome.
