title: Giant right atrial thrombus in Noonan syndrome combined with Eisenmenger's complex.
abstract: A 54-year-old woman with the Noonan syndrome was admitted with congestive heart failure and a giant right atrial thrombus with atrial septal defect detected by two-dimensional echocardiography. The thrombus vanished on oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin. The thrombus is considered to result from hemostasis in the right atrium due to congestive heart failure and to her specific skeletal characteristics. This report describes the first case of Noonan syndrome with right atrial thrombus.
