Abstract
Noonan syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder affecting both sexes is characterized by dysmorphic features with cardiac malformations with seizures. However, association of infantile spasm with Noonan syndrome and more so ACTH induced hypertensive emergency in these patients is very rare. We hereby reported an infant who presented with dysmorphic features with refractory seizures and later developed hypertensive emergency due to ACTH therapy.
