Abstract
Noonan's syndrome associated with spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta is rare. Review of the literature reveals only one such reported case. The authors describe a 41-year-old male with Noonan's syndrome who initially presented with lower extremity claudication. Computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography disclosed an abnormal dilation of the ascending thoracic aorta and a distal abdominal aortic dissection. The patient underwent successful aortoiliac bypass graft. Seven months later, he suffered rupture of his ascending aorta, resulting in death.
