title: Bilateral coronary artery dilatation in a child with Noonan syndrome.
abstract: A rare case of a child with Noonan syndrome who had huge bilateral coronary artery dilatation is presented. Noonan syndrome is one of the most common nonchromosomal syndromes seen in children with cardiovascular abnormalities. Coronary artery abnormality should be considered in Noonan syndrome, because this syndrome may be associated with a higher incidence of coronary anomalies than previously thought.
