Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Headache has been cited as both a primary symptom and a sequela of infection with the novel coronavirus. Cases of long coronavirus disease (COVID) headache have already been documented in adults, but literature on similar cases in children and adolescents is scant. CASE REPORT: We present three cases of persistent headache after infection with COVID-19 in pediatric patients presenting to a tertiary headache center. CONCLUSION: Infection has been suggested as a trigger for chronic headaches, specifically those of the new daily persistent headache type. Although the association between new daily persistent headache and COVID-19 remains unclear, these cases highlight the importance of awareness of the neurological sequelae of novel coronavirus infection in children and adolescents.
