Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that is
typically dysmorphic anamolies at birth. In many affected individuals,
this syndrome is associated with cardiac defects and a distinctive
facial appearance. We aimed to discuss a different variant of Noonan
Syndrome progressing especially with gingival overgrowth and dental
anomaly in our cases. A 15-year-old female patient presented to
our family medicine outpatient clinic with the complaint of growth
retardation. The patient was diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome with
phenotypic symptoms. Noonan Syndrome is one of the syndromes
without any chromosomal anomalies developing with Turner-like
phenotypic features. Gingival overgrowth and dental anomaly
coexistence in addition to the oral symptoms that are likely to be
related to the Noonan Syndrome was present in our case.Specifically,
if there are accompanying symptoms and findings in cases with
gingival overgrowth and dental anomalies as seen in patients’
mouth and teeth examinations, Noonan Syndrome may be taken into
consideration.
