Abstract
We present the case of a patient with Noonan's syndrome and massive no nimmune hydrops fetalis in whom lymphangiography was performed in the neonatal period. This demonstrated generalised lymphatic dysplasia, an d we suggest a mechanism by which the lymphatic abnormalities in Noona n's syndrome may arise.
