ABSTRACT
Joubert Syndrome, manifests in a spectrum of neurological symptoms. This case describes a 7-year-old girl with perinatal complications, and subsequent neurodevelopmental challenges. An MRI confirmed the diagnosis of Joubert syndrome, with the distinctive "molar tooth sign" being a key imaging characteristic. Approximately 25% of cases exhibit nephronophthisis, impacting kidney function, further complicating the clinical picture. Diagnosis relies on imaging and management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, addressing symptoms and complications, with prognosis linked to the presence of organic disease. The case emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary strategy, including genetic counseling, and underscores the diverse manifestations of this syndrome. Prenatal identification through ultrasound and MRI plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating this rare condition.
