Dear Friend,
Noonan Syndrome (NS) is a relatively common autosomal dominant congenital disorder considered to be a type of dwarfism, that affects both males and females equally. Hypertelorism is one of the features seen in 95% of individuals suffering from NS. Others can be Droopy lids, Refractive errors, epicanthal folds, proptosis, strabismus, nystagmus. Please consult an ophthalmologist on regular basis and also consult for a complete systemic evaluation with your pediatrician. Their is no harm in taking a second opinion from a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis. Take Care
