Abstract

We present an unusual association between Noonan syndrome and tetraventricular hydrocephalus, caused by fourth ventricle outlet obstruction, in a 5-year-old boy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a diverticular enlargement of the left foramen of Luschka, with compression of the facial nerve that resolved following treatment of hydrocephalus by endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
