    AbstractSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 pandemic has affected several countries throughout the world. Being very contagious, it can affect any individual. So far, the prevalence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in children amongst the total infected population is very low, ranging from 1-5%. Difficulty in diagnosing the disease clinically in the pediatric population owing to their inability to explain their symptoms often renders a possibility of overlooking this disease. Moreover, new modes of presentation are being reported apart from the classical tell-tale signs. In this scenario, medical professionals dealing with the children should be well aware of different modes of presentation of this disease in the pediatric population. This study thus aims to review otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological manifestations in the pediatric population affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2.
