Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations in the pediatric population, including the rare but notable presentation of unilateral parotitis. This comprehensive review explores the complexities surrounding SARS-CoV-2-associated unilateral parotitis in children. It addresses the initial clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and the wider epidemiological impacts of this unusual symptom. The review synthesizes the available literature, providing insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this atypical manifestation and its implications for pediatric healthcare during the pandemic. Through the rigorous analysis of reported cases, this study underscores the need for increased awareness and a broad differential diagnosis among clinicians. It also emphasizes the importance of continued research to delineate the full clinical spectrum of COVID-19 in children.
