Abstract

Objectives: To warn of possible otological manifestations in cases resulting from infection by SARSCoV- 2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Coronavirus).

Methods: Two cases of otological involvement were reported at the Clinical Hospital, Marilia Medical School, through reports with medical records and literature review.
Results: The patients presented serous otitis media after infection by SARS-CoV-2 and different therapeutic outcomes: Surgical and clinical.

Conclusion: The pathogenesis of the development of complications in the auditory system associated with COVID-19 is still not well established. However, it deserves attention, thinking not only about acute affections, but also about its consequences chronically to the population, in view of the growing resumption of cases of infection by the virus in Brazil.
