Abstract

Background

There are few reported cases of Dandy–Walker Malformation associated with Noonan syndrome (NS).

Case presentation

We herein present a case of a late preterm infant with Dandy–Walker malformation (DWM) that underwent a workup for feeding difficulty and was found to have NS. This is one of the few reported cases of DWM with NS having a PTPN11 gene mutation.

Conclusion

Overlapping clinical features may disguise diagnosis in infants with multiple pathologies.
