Abstract
Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal disorder characterised by abnormal respiratory patterns, delayed psychomotor development, visual disturbances and renal and hepatic involvement. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with delayed psychomotor development. Neurological examination revealed hypotonia. No respiratory disorders were observed in our case. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the pathognomonic sign of the molar tooth in the posterior cerebral fossa.
