To review progress in understanding pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The focus is on the frontal-striatal-thalamic model of OCD, neurobiological and genetic studies of the disorder and their influence on recent advances in treatment. Computerized literature searches were conducted with the keywords “obsessive-compulsive disorder” in conjunction with ‘pediatric”, “genetics” and “imaging”. Neuroimaging studies find evidence to support the frontal-striatal-thalamic model. Genetic and neurochemical studies also implicate glutamate in the pathology of OCD. This has led to application of glutamate modulating agents to treat OCD. Studies of pediatric OCD have led to a refined frontal-striatal-thalamic model of pathogenesis and are having an evidence-based impact on treatment. Despite this progress, fully explanatory models are still needed that would allow for accurate prognosis and the development of targeted and efficacious treatments.
