Symptoms of Noonan Syndrome

Possible Complications

Noonan syndrome may lead to some possible complications that require medical services or special attention:

– Developmental delays: Developmental problems, intellectual disabilities, and learning difficulties may happen. When these issues are significant, people with Noonan syndrome might need a special treatment plan to meet the developmental and educational needs.

– High risk of cancer: Noonan syndrome may increase the risk of some forms of cancer, especially leukemia, nerve cell cancer, or soft tissue tumors.

– Bleeding Issues: Excessive bleeding may be prevalent. However, it might be not diagnosed until surgery or dental is performed. It is essential to be aware of this risk before any procedure. [10]
