A new strain of coronavirus was isolated, being responsible for a new febrile and respiratory disease, whose pulmonary syndrome was called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization, announcing a health emergency. Imaging is a critical component of diagnostic evaluation and monitoring of disease progression in adults, hence comes the importance of knowing the findings in pediatric patients. Method: Descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study, which included 54 children with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Data was obtained from the AS400 system. The analysis was performed with the SPSS statistical program, percentages were determined in the nominal and central variables. Results: Chest computerized tomography (CT) was performed in 46% of patients, no tomographic alterations were found in 64%, the most common finding on chest CT being ground glass opacities in 100% of cases, followed by the halo sign in 44%. 67% had bilateral involvement. Of the patients with tomographic alterations the majority had mild symptoms. Only those with pulmonary involvement greater than 25% presented significant respiratory symptoms, one required intensive care. Conclusions: CT did not prove to be useful routinely for the evaluation and diagnosis of COVID-19 in pediatrics, reserving its use for patients with significant respiratory disease or clinical deterioration, ground glass pattern and halo sign were evidenced.
