{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>To assess the pediatric anterior segment characteristics in ocular pathology using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>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.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>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.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This study demonstrates that anterior segment OCT is a useful non-contact technique for the detailed anatomic and pathologic assessment of pediatric ocular diseases.
