RESUMO
Noonan syndrome is a rare disorder, characterized by several malformations such as dysplasia and stenosis of the pulmonary valve, atrial septal defect and a typical pattern of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We describe here a 1-month old girl, who was referred to our center with seizure and apnea. She had wide anterior fontanel, head circumference and sunset eye. Intaventricular hemorrhage by sonography and atrial septal defect and hypertrophy cardiomyopathy by echocardiography were detected. Clinical and laboratory findings of the patient were compatible with a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome, which was also confirmed by molecular analysis. Candida albicans was grown in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures. Treatment with Amphotrycine B was started for the patient and she responded well to this therapy. Early diagnosis and appropriate diagnosis of a rare condition in the patient with such rare disease are the main keys to avoid further complications and even death of patient.
