JOUBERT SYNDROME: CLINICAL AND POLYGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS IN A FURTHER CASE

Abstract
The clinical, radiological (computerized tomography) and polygraphic findings in a patient with Joubert Syndrome are described. The female presented is the product of consanguineous parents and a sibling of a previously reported infant. In addition to the well-known episodic tachypnea in an awake state, representing the clinical hallmark of this syndrome, this child also had bouts of tachypnea while asleep. Interestingly enough, these were confined only to non-REM [rapid eye movement] sleep.
