The aim of the study is to present a few cases of newborn babies with B-W syndrome in order to let especially neonatologists and pediatrics follow the diagnostic process. It may make it easier for them to suggest the diagnosis of this syndrome. According to an increased risk for embryonal tumor development, the prophylaxis needs to be taken as well. Children with B-W syndrome need a multi-specialty care.
