Abstract
We report a case of Noonan syndrome with classical cardinal features, including short stature, hypertelorism, low-set ears, pectus excavatum, short neck, kyphoscoliosis, clinodactyly, cryptochidism and pulmonary stenosis. The orofacial findings in the patient have been emphasized to highlight the need of dental treatment and care during multidisciplinary treatment planning for the patients with Noonan syndrome.
