"nNoonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that is typically evident at birth. In many affected individuals, this syn­drome is associated with cardiac defects and a distinctive facial appearance. The high frequency of cardiac disorder, oph­thalmic, growth and orthopedic signs, associated with Noonan syndrome emphasizes the need for early diagnosis. This re­port aimed to present a 19 year old Iranian girl suffering from Noonan syndrome. In this case in addition to typical signs and symptoms reported for Noonan syndrome earlier, there are three other significant signs which have not been reported yet in any other cases. So they are supposed to be related to Noonan syndrome.
