| | Noonan Syndrome |
 | | Females with Turner syndrome may have a short, webbed neck with a low hairline; short stature; drooping of the upper eyelids (ptosis) and/or widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism); widely spaced, inverted, and/or underdeveloped (hypoplastic) nipples; congenital heart defects; and/or kidney abnormalities. |
 | | There are additional disorders that may be characterized by craniofacial malformations, webbing of the neck, short stature, skeletal malformations, congenital heart defects, blood clotting and platelet deficiencies, congenital lymphatic malformations, mental retardation, and/or other characteristics similar to those potentially associated with Noonan syndrome. |
 | | A diagnosis of Noonan syndrome may be considered due to detection of excessive amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus within the amniotic sac (hydramnios), the presence of an abnormal cystic growth consisting of dilated lymph vessels in the neck area (cystic hygroma), and confirmation of a normal chromosomal makeup (karyotype). |
