The neurological presentation of JS includes hypotonia that evolves into ataxia, developmental delay, abnormal eye movements, and neonatal breathing abnormalities. [books.google.com]

Interpretation: Head titubation is a benign, early presentation of Joubert syndrome. Head titubation in hypotonic infants should prompt a careful search for Joubert syndrome. [utexas.influuent.utsystem.edu]

The unifying pathognomonic sign is a cerebellar vermis hypoplasia presenting in MRI as the so called “molar tooth sign”. Approximately 25% of patients with JS present with NPH depending on the underlying genetic defect. [neocyst.de]

  A global developmental delay was found in 44 (81%) patients. Cognitive functions have been assessed in 49 patients: intelligence (IQ) or general quotient ranged from 15 to 129 (mean 58) and was normal in six (11%) patients. [pediatricneurologybriefs.com]

Monitoring of eye movements and vision treatment are also beneficial for some infants. However, there is no specified course of treatment for the Joubert Syndrome. [syndromespedia.com]

Diagnosis - Joubert Syndrome Prognosis - Joubert Syndrome The prognosis for infants with Joubert syndrome depends on whether or not the cerebellar vermis is partially developed or entirely absent, as well as on the extent and severity of other organ involvement [checkorphan.org]

Patients with associated retinal dysplasia appear to have a poorer prognosis 5. [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis Prognosis is favorable for moderate forms of the disease. Management of patients with more severe forms should be carried out at a specialized reference centre. [orpha.net]

Prognosis of Joubert Syndrome The prognosis of the infants for Joubert Syndrome entirely depends upon the severity of the syndrome. [syndromespedia.com]
