| More Details: | Congenital malformations of the eye represent a wide and heterogeneous spectrum of abnormalities that may be part of a complex syndrome or be isolated. Ocular malformation severity depends on the timing of the causative event during eye formation, ranging from the complete absence of the eye if injury occurs during the first weeks of gestation, to subtle abnormalities if the cause occurs later on. Knowledge of ocular malformations is crucial to performing a tailored imaging protocol and correctly reporting imaging findings. Together with the ophthalmologic evaluation, imaging may help frame ocular malformations and identify underlying genetic conditions. The purpose of this pictorial review is to describe the imaging features of the main ocular malformations and the related ophthalmologic findings in order to provide a clinico-radiological overview of these abnormalities to the clinical radiologist. Sight is a crucial sense for children to explore the world and relate with their parents from birth. Vision impairment or even blindness secondary to ocular malformations deeply affects children’s growth and quality of life. |
