Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant dysmorphic characterized by hypertelorism, a downward eyeslant, and low-set posteriorly rotated ears. Other features include short stature, a short neck with webbing or redundancy of skin, cardiac anomalies, epicanthic fold, deafness, motor delay, and a bleeding diathesis. In this case report a 20 years male presented with severe pulmonary stenosis with classical sketetal abnomalities.

Noonan syndrome (NS; OMIM#163950) is a relatively common autosomal dominant disorder with a worldwide prevalence of approximately 1:1,000 to 1:2,500. The syndrome is characterized by distinctive facial features, congenital heart defects (CHD), and short stature. Distinctive facial features consist of a broad and high forehead, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, a high arched palate, low set and posteriorly rotated ears with a thick helix, and a short neck with excess nuchal skin and low posterior hairline. Additional relatively frequent features include chest deformities, cryptorchidism in males, mild intellectual disability, and bleeding diathesis.1,2In 2001, missense mutations in

Noonan syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome, inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. We studied 31 patients (18 males and 13 females) affected by this disorder regarding their clinical and genetic characteristics. The most frequent clinical findings were short stature (71%); craniofacial dysmorphisms, especially hypertelorism, ptosis, downslanting of the palpebral fissures; short or webbed neck (87%); cardiac anomalies (65%), and fetal pads in fingers and toes (70%). After studying the probands' first-degree relatives, we made the diagnosis of Noonan syndrome in more than one family member in three families. Therefore, the majority of our cases were sporadic.

ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disease with different manifestations, including Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences ones. The authors describe the orofacial and myofunctional manifestations of an adolescent diagnosed with Noonan syndrome, by consulting the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences record of a 17-year-old male patient, who underwent screening and speech therapy evaluation with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of Noonan syndrome. The results were qualitatively analyzed. The patient had a long facial type, with a disproportion between the lower and middle thirds of the face, ogival palate, and Mallampati class IV. A deficit in mobility and sensitivity of phonoarticulatory organs was also identified, absence of pathological oral and gag reflexes, decreased lip tone and tongue tension, increased speed chewing and inefficient grinding, functional swallowing for assessed consistencies, mild verbal and nonverbal apraxia, and moderate dysarthria. The results confirmed the presence of alterations in the speech-language organs, proving the relevance of the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences evaluation in Noonan Syndrome, to allow adequate follow-up and treatment.

Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is a complex syndrome comprises of classical clinicaltriad of short neck, limitation of head and neck movements and low posteriorhairline. This syndrome is resulting from failure of the normal segmentation ofcervical vertebra.In this present case in addition to classical clinical triad we have found short stature,scoliosis at cervico- dorsal junction and sprengel deformity of the shoulder. Wedidn’t find any association of hearing impairment, congenital heart disease andrenal abnormalities. There was no any neurological deficit and normal schoolperformance.Patient with KFS usually have good prognosis if cardiopulmonary, genitourinary,auditory problems are identified and treated early.

The clinical findings and treatment options of cardiovascular abnormalities in a 20-year old male patient with Noonan syndrome are described with literature review. The classical clinical features of Noonan syndrome which were identified included short stature, abnormalities of ear and eye, low posterior hair line, cubitus valgus and webbed neck. The major cardiovascular abnormalities included pulmonary valvular stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A comparison with Leopard syndrome is made and the overlapping features between the two rare genetic disorders are discussed.

SummaryBackground/Aim: Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder, caused by mutations on genes located on the long arm of chromosome 12. The condition has no sex or race predilection and its incidence is 1 per 1,000 – 2,500 live births. Individuals affected with Noonan syndrome have distinctive facial features, hypertelorism, short stature, congenital heart disease; mainly pulmonary stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, chest deformities, variable learning disabilities and mental retardation. Orofacial findings in Noonan syndrome may be high-arched palate, micrognathia, dental malocclusion and articulation difficulties.Case report: The present article reports on a male case of 12 years old, referred for treatment in the orthodontic office. Despite the difficulties of hyperactivity, the light mental delay and the gag reflex, the treatment was completed satisfactorily with fixed orthodontic appliances in 15 months. Both the patient and his parents were happy with the results. The patient is presently undergoing the retention period of this orthodontic treatment.Conclusions: Despite the difficulties of treating a child with a genetic syndrome for his/her malocclusion, the reported case presented in this article proves that it is always worth trying for the benefit of the patient.

Congenital feline hypothyroidism was diagnosed in a 10-month-old kitten. The kitten appeared to have disproportionate dwarfism, with the clinical signs of incompletely erupted permanent dentition covered by thickened gingival tissue, short stature, a broad, flattened face, short neck, pendulous abdomen, kitten-like hair coat, and goiter. Hypothyroidism was confirmed with baseline T4, freeT4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone testing. The kitten was treated with thyroid hormone supplementation and monitored. The kitten appeared clinically like a normal healthy cat at 22 months of age on thyroid supplementation.

Larsen syndrome was first described in 1950 by Larsen, Schottstaedt and Bost. This rare inherited disorder is characterized by congenital dislocation of multiple joints along with other anomalies of heart, face, hands and bones. Awareness of this condition and assosciated complications helps in better follow up and management of these patients.

Cleidocranial dysplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder with a wide range of expression, characterized by clavicular aplasia or hypoplasia, retarded cranial ossification, supernumerary teeth, short stature and a variety of other skeletal abnormalities. We are reporting a case of Cleidocranial dysplasia with literature is review. doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i2.3799   TAJ 2008; 21(2): 166-169
