Methods: Data from 19 EUROmediCAT registries and one healthcare database (EFEMERIS) were included in this descriptive epidemiological study. Cases of COA included live births, FD from 20 weeks gestational age (GA), and termination of pregnancy for fetal anomaly.

Among COA cases, congenital lens anomalies were the most frequent anomalies (31%), of which over half were single ocular anomalies (presenting with only one ocular anomaly). An/microphthalmia was the second most frequent COA (24%) of which three‐quarters were multiply malformed (associated to extraocular major anomalies). Among single COA cases, 58 were prenatally diagnosed (4%), of which, 58% were diagnosed in the second trimester. Known genetic causes of COA explained 2.5%–25% of COA depending on their class.
