Abstract

Joubert syndrome and related disorder (JSRD) is a rare disorder of midline structure of brain having characteristic clinical and neuro-radiological findings. The hallmark of diagnosis is molar tooth sign (MTS). Early accurate diagnosis can help in planning early intervention measures to reduce the morbidity. We are hereby presenting a case of eight months old female infant with abnormal eye movements since birth along with developmental delay. Clinical and radiological evidence proved that child is having Joubert syndrome related disorder.
