Abstract

Although Noonan syndrome is a relatively common congenital disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, its association with cerebrovascular anomalies is rare. We report a case of a 20-year-old with Noonan syndrome with cerebrovascular aneurysm, who underwent successful endovascular coiling. Only four cases of cerebrovascular aneurysms in Noonan syndrome have been reported in the literature so far. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the fifth reported case and the first one that has been treated successfully with endovascular coiling. We hereby discuss the management of this case, which had several comorbidities like congenital heart disease and craniovertebral junction anomaly.

Keywords

cerebrovascular aneurysm - craniovertebral junction anomaly - endovascular coiling - Noonan syndrome

Previous Presentation

Case report has been presented in Indian Society of Neuroanesthesiology and Critical care Conference on 22 January 2021.
