Regional anesthesia for cesarean section in a parturient with Noonan's syndrome

Abstract

Noonan's syndrome is a rare clinical entity. It is also known as female pseudo-Turner syndrome or Turner phenotype with normal chromosomes. These patients have facial, cardiovascular, and skeletal abnormalities which may pose a problem to the anesthesiologist during surgery. There are no reported cases of Noonan's syndrome requiring anesthesia for cesarean section.
