Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly virulent multisystem disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Symptoms of COVID-19 infection commonly include fever, malaise, cough, and shortness of breath. Numerous manifestations affecting nearly every organ system have been described. Ophthalmic manifestations, though rare, have been reported, including, most commonly, conjunctivitis in both adults and children, which often occurs as part of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. However, pediatric ocular findings of COVID-19 are poorly understood. We present a case of acquired Brown syndrome in a child following COVID-19 infection.
