Brain magnetic resonance image of a child with Joubert syndrome. (A) A cerebrospinal fluid line (arrow), which is hyperintense on T2 weighted image, is observed between the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres; (B) the enlarged fourth ventricle appears as a “bat-wing” (arrow); (C) elongated bilateral superior cerebellar peduncles and deep interpeduncular fossa together constitute the “molar tooth sign” (arrows); (D) sagittal T1 weighted image shows the elongated and horizontally oriented superior cerebellar peduncles (arrow).
