Abstract
Objective: To assess the pediatric anterior segment characteristics in ocular pathology using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: This case series follows 115 eyes of 78 children (2-17 years) with anterior segment pathology in an academic facility. The anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) analysis was done using the Optopol Revo 80 high-resolution SD-OCT using an imaging adapter. All pathological features visible on imaging were observed, studied, tabulated, and analyzed.
Results: The average age was 11.84 years, with 44 males and 34 females. The primary clinical diagnosis was cataract in 40 (34.8%) eyes, followed by corneal disease in 28 (24.3%) eyes, glaucoma in 18 (15.7%) eyes, and trauma in 15 (13%) eyes. Systemic diseases were associated with 20.9% of the cases. The most common imaging pathology observed was lens opacification in 43 (37.4%), increased reflectivity of the cornea in 31 (28.2%), corneal stromal thinning in 34 (29.6%), increased corneal thickness in 28 (24.3%), a shallow anterior chamber in 17 (14.8%), and cells in the anterior chamber in 18 (15.7%) eyes, along with a multitude of other findings.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that anterior segment OCT is a useful non-contact technique for the detailed anatomic and pathologic assessment of pediatric ocular diseases.
期刊介绍:
The journal serves the device research community by providing a comprehensive body of high-quality information from leading experts, all subject to rigorous peer review. The Expert Review format is specially structured to optimize the value of the information to reader. Comprehensive coverage by each author in a key area of research or clinical practice is augmented by the following sections:
Expert commentary - a personal view on the most effective or promising strategies
Five-year view - a clear perspective of future prospects within a realistic timescale
Key issues - an executive summary cutting to the author''s most critical points
In addition to the Review program, each issue also features Medical Device Profiles - objective assessments of specific devices in development or clinical use to help inform clinical practice. There are also Perspectives - overviews highlighting areas of current debate and controversy, together with reports from the conference scene and invited Editorials.
