Purpose: The rapid and noninvasive nature of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) makes it a potentially valuable tool for imaging the retina in children. With the optimization of tabletop systems and the development of experimental handheld OCTA devices, there is expanded potential for OCTA in the clinic and the operating room. This article reviews the utility of OCTA in some of the most common pediatric retinal disorders. Methods: A thorough computerized PubMed search was performed to review relevant published journal articles to contextualize and identify the role of OCTA in common retinal disorders with vascular involvement affecting children. Pertinent results and findings from original investigations and case reports were summarized. Results: The ability to quickly collect both qualitative and quantitative information about retinal microvasculature, in both the clinic and operating room settings, with OCTA, has led to the uncovering of microvascular features and morphologic changes in many pediatric retinal disorders such as Coats Disease, familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, incontinentia pigmenti, sickle cell retinopathy, Stargardt Disease, X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes, pediatric retinal tumors, and choroidal neovascularization. Conclusions: OCTA is a relevant tool to aid early detection, guide intervention, monitor treatment response, and understand pathogenesis in a number of pediatric retinal disorders.
