Visual Evoked Potentials in Joubert Syndrome: A Suggested Useful Method for Evaluating Future Approaches Targeted to Improve Visual Pathways’ Function

Abstract

Introduction: Joubert syndrome (JS) is a recessive disorder characterized by a congenital malformation of the mid-hindbrain and a large spectrum of clinical features including optic nerve morphologic abnormalities. The function of the visual pathways, including the optic nerve, can be objectively evaluated by visual evoked potential (VEP) recordings. Our work aims to employ VEP to evaluate the neural
