β¦ Synopsis
The striking clinical picture of periodic hyperpnea and apnea, hypotonia, ataxia, mental retardation, retinal dystrophy, and oculomotor abnormalities found in association with radiologic evidence of agenesis of the cerebellar vermis characterizes Joubert's syndrome. We describe the cranial sonographic findings in 2 children with Joubert's syndrome from 2 families. Two children in the first family and 6 children in the second family were affected by Joubert's syndrome. To our knowledge, cranial sonographic findings in this syndrome have not been described before.

We report the case of a postmenopausal patient presenting with bilateral solid Bartholin's gland lesions. The clinical and sonographic features suggested a nonaggressive process, allowing the surgeon to choose excisional biopsy of 1 of the lesions rather than radical excision to establish the diagno
We determined the type and frequency of abnormal sonographic findings in 187 Down syndrome fetuses. Examinations were performed transvaginally or transabdominally between 9 and 28 weeks' gestation. Consecutive scans performed prior to knowledge of the fetal karyotype (n=144) were analysed separately
## Abstract Joubert syndrome (JS) is characterized by hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, and a typical neuroimaging finding, the soβcalled βmolar tooth signβ (MTS). The association of MTS and polymicrogyria (PMG) has been reported as a distinct JSβrelated disorder (JSRD). So far, five patients
