The spectrum of ocular and orbital pathology in the pediatric age group is quite different from that of adults. Imaging studies serve an important role in the diagnosis and management of many of these abnormalities. This review outlines the various abnormalities of the pediatric eye and orbit for which imaging studies are often required, including: infection, neoplasm, inflammation and infiltration, developmental anomalies, and trauma. The computed tomographic appearances of these abnormalities are emphasized. Additionally, the pertinent findings recorded with magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, and radiography are described. Correlation of the results of imaging studies with pertinent clinical information allows the determination of specific diagnoses in most instances of pediatric orbital pathology.
