Abstract:

We report an infant with Noonan syndrome who presented antenatally with polyhydramnios, edema, ascites and pericardial effusion. His mother has Noonan syndrome. Postnatally, he was found to have clinical features compatible with Noonan syndrome, and a right-sided pleural effusion was noted. This resolved by day 12 without any intervention. This case is an example of the diversity of clinical features of Noonan syndrome.
