Presentation
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]
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.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]
global developmental delay, and the neuroradiological finding of “molar tooth sign”. [2] The term “Joubert syndrome and related disorders” (JSRD) is sometimes used when associated findings suggest a unique distinct syndrome. [3] JSRD are clinically [ijo.in]
Treatment
Chest physical therapy, antibiotics, inhalation treatments, and enriched diets are few of many treatment options. Return to the top of this page. [kveller.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]
Treatment of chronic renal failure with renal replacement therapy and renal transplantation. In case of hepatic failure liver transplantation might be necessary. Known genes for Joubert syndrome to date sources Romani M, Micalizzi A, Valente EM. [neocyst.de]

Prognosis
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]

Genetic counseling is an important clinical tool for preventing new cases, especially for couples with an affected first child. The risk of having an affected child in further pregnancies is 25%. [orpha.net]
The paper describes a genetic change that prevents interaction between two particular cilia proteins, presumably disrupting cilia function and causing JS. [news-medical.net]
