Joubert syndrome: A case report

Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, episodic tachypnea-apnea and oculomotor abnormalities. The most characteristic imaging features are cerebellar vermiş hypoplasia and "molar tooth" sign of the brainstem. Here we report a 24 month old boy diagnosed Joubert syndrome.
