Joubert syndrome was first reported in 1969 as a rare, recessive autosomal syndrome associated with neuropathological abnormalities of the cerebellum and brain stem, partial or complete aplasia of the cerebellar vermis, and presenting with episodic hyperpnea and apnea, oculomotor abnormalities, and psychomotor retardation.
