We report the case of a 31-week and 4-day gestational-age fetus in whom intrauterine growth retardation and small-bowel

Joubert syndrome
. This highlights the need for regular ultrasound monitoring during pregnancy and the comanagement of obstetricians and pediatricians to provide appropriate care before and after delivery.
