We report on the girl, 9 year-old, with the cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome presenting with typical craniofacial appearance, heart defects, ectodermal abnormalities, neglected orthopedic pathology, developmental delay and spasticity, which rare in this syndrome.
Joubert syndrome (JS) and JS-related disorders are a group of developmental delay, multiple congenital anomalies and complex midbrain–hindbrain malformations.

This case is intended to draw attention to the rare association of JS and MDPH by increasing the awareness of this syndrome.
