Abstract

Joubert syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited condition characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, retinal dystrophy, chorioretinal colobomata, oculomotor abnormalities, episodic hyperpnea, ataxia, and mental retardation. Congenital hepatic fibrosis has not previously been described in Joubert syndrome. We report two unrelated children with Joubert syndrome and hepatosplenomegaly. On histopathological examination, both had congenital hepatic fibrosis. Both were also found to have congenital medullary cystic disease of the kidneys. Joubert syndrome appears to be one of a spectrum of congenital malformation syndromes involving the central nervous system, eye, liver and kidneys.
