โฆ Synopsis
We report on an infant with severe Noonan syndrome, chylothoraces, and hepatosplenomegaly who suffered two episodes of cerebral infarction before age 6 months. No underlying cause for these events was found. The presentation is discussed in relationship to other reports of stroke in Noonan syndrome which have previously been associated with underlying vascular malformations.
