Primer episodio psicótico en un paciente con síndrome de Noonan. A propósito de un caso

Abstract

First psychotic episode in a patient with Noonan syndrome. A case report Noonan syndrome is a genetic disease characterised by phenotypic facial abnormalities, short stature, heart and chest wall malformations, delayed neurodevelopment, infertility, and blood dyscrasias. Diagnosis is clinical, with subsequent genetic confirmation. At the psychopathological level, patients with this syndrome present cognitive problems, delayed language development and attention problems in childhood, and impaired affective functioning in adulthood. We present the case of a 39-year-old male with a first psychotic episode, with prominently positive symptoms, in the context of a previous diagnosis of Noonan syndrome.
