BackgroundAcute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is associated with chronic symptoms. These have been termed the “post COVID‐19 condition.” The data on this condition in children are still limited. We therefore aimed to elucidate the characteristics of this post COVID‐19 condition.MethodsChildren referred to a long COVID‐19 clinic were included at Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center between October 2021 and July 2022. Children with another diagnosis and those who failed to meet criteria for post COVID‐19 condition were excluded. Demographic and clinical data were collected retrospectively.ResultsOf 33 referrals, nine were excluded, and 24 fulfilled the criteria for post COVID‐19 condition. The median age and percentage of girls were 12.5 (IQR: 11–13) years and 29.2%, respectively. All the patients had mild, acute COVID‐19. Dysgeusia and brain fog was observed more frequently during the Delta and Omicron variant periods, respectively. School absenteeism >4 weeks was observed in 41.6% of the patients. Common symptoms included malaise, headache, dysgeusia, and dysosmia. The median duration of post COVID‐19 condition was 4.5 (IQR: 2.8–5.2) months. Pain management and counseling using the pacing approach were the most commonly offered treatments. Symptom resolution and improvement was observed in 29.2% and 54.2% of the patients, respectively.ConclusionsOne third of the patients referred for long COVID did not fit the definition of the post COVID‐19 condition. After a median follow up of 4.5 months, the majority of the cases resolved or improved.

Background and objectivesPost-acute COVID-19 syndrome or “long COVID” affects patients even after the recovery from Covid infection in various ways. Persistent headache or New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH) is one of such symptoms. In this review, we will discuss about the case-reports of post covid-19 headache- NDPH phenotype both after and in the course of COVID-19 infection.MethodsCase reports/studies talked about patients having NDPH around the disease either immediately or late post COVID were included. Data was taken from the source and synthesised on a qualitative basis.ResultsLiterature search showed 3,538 articles, out of which 12 were screened as per the eligibility criteria and finally, 4 case reports on NDPH and Covid-19 were chosen for analysis from the database and by human search. All case reports justify the criteria for acceptability in quality for this systematic review.ConclusionNDPH in and around Covid 19 infection is something that is currently an ingenious debated topic in the scientific community. More case studies should be written and published on the same subject so that a large systematic review could be conducted.Trial Registration InformationThe review is registered in Prospero with no. Identifier (CRD42022354912).Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/, PROSPERO (CRD42022354912).

Headache may be a cardinal symptom in a patient with an intracranial infection. Meningitis, meningoencephalitis, empyema, and brain abscess are the most frequent infections of the central nervous system. They are usually accompanied by severe headache, usually acute at onset, accompanied by high temperature, altered level of consciousness, in addition to alterations in the neurologic examination. In this minireview, the authors intend to show and comment on some neuroimaging aspects found during the investigation of patients with a headache caused by an infectious intracranial lesion.
