Joubert syndrome with ocular defect

Joubert syndrome with ocular defect is a subtype of Joubert syndrome and related disorders. It is defined by the neurological features seen in Joubert syndrome combined with problems in the eyes linked to retinal dystrophy. This condition is considered one of the most frequent subtypes of Joubert syndrome along with pure Joubert syndrome, and it highlights the impact on both brain function and vision. People with this condition may experience challenges related to the nervous system and vision. The combination of neurological issues and retinal problems makes it distinct from other subtypes. Information about the overall range of symptoms and long-term course is still being developed.

The condition is marked by features that affect the nervous system, similar to other forms of Joubert syndrome, and by retinal dystrophy, which affects the eyes. This can include difficulties with balance, coordination, and other neurological challenges, along with eye problems related to the retina.
