Sumario:Joubert syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous multisystem disorder typically diagnosed in childhood. Nephronophthisis is the most common renal pathology in Joubert syndrome, and renal failure usually occurs in childhood or in young adults. We report a 61-year-old female diagnosed with AHI1-related oculorenal Joubert syndrome, who presented initially with decline in renal function in her 50s. Our report describes exceptionally late presentation of renal disease in Joubert syndrome and highlights the importance of continued renal function monitoring in older adults with Joubert syndrome.
