Abstract
We report an infant with Noonan syndrome who presented antenatally with pol yhydramnios, edema, ascites and pericardial effusion. His mother has Noonan syndrome. Postnatally, he was found to have clinical features compatible w ith Noonan syndrome, and a right-sided pleural effusion was noted. This res olved by day 12 without any intervention. This case is an example of the di versity of clinical features of Noonan syndrome.
