The Noonan syndrome (NS) is a true multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) syndrome with numerous manifestations. An association with lymphedema has been noted, but its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Nine new cases and a review of the literature explore the role of lymphedema in NS, including its pathogenesis, presentations, and phenotypic effects. Consideration is given to developmental stage at time of onset, chronicity, resolution, and anatomic site. It appears likely that lymphedema is a much more frequent concomitant in NS than previously realized. The major source of lymphedema in NS appears to be a presently undefined dysplasia of lymphatic vessels of unknown cause. Further study of lymphedema may provide an understanding of its role in shaping the NS phenotype. Comparison with other MCA syndromes and animal models is made in this regard. Relevance to prenatal diagnosis and treatment is discussed.

Congenital chylothorax is an uncommon but well-described condition. Recurrent congenital chylothorax is extremely rare. Yancy and Spock (1967) reviewed 31 reported cases of spontaneous chylothorax which occurred in the first 2 months of life and noted that male infants were affected twice as commonly as females. Two other cases of recurrent congenital chylothorax in male offspring (Defoort and Thiery, 1978; Reece et al., 1987) led to the suggestion of possible X-linked recessive inheritance. We describe a case of recurrent congenital chylothorax in which two consecutive female infants in a sibship were affected. The underlying cause of this disorder remains unknown. Inheritance as an X-linked recessive is not possible and this case is suggestive of autosomal recessive inheritance. The case also serves to emphasize the need for caution in counselling for recurrence risks when the underlying aetiology of the disorder is unknown.
