[Joubert syndrome: findings at conventional magnetic resonance image and at diffusion tensor imaging]

Abstract

We present the case of a 20-year-old man previously diagnosed with cerebral palsy in whom a developmental disorder was detected at physical examination. After cranial CT and conventional cranial MRI, we diagnosed Joubert syndrome. We completed the study with diffusion tensor imaging and tractography. This article reviews the imaging findings for Joubert syndrome and the relevant literature.
