Importance of an Ent Surgeon in Maggot Removal, Improper Attempt Leads to Deadly Complications: A Case Report
Tóm tắt
Myiasis is caused by the larvae of Diptera. Infestation of maggots in ears and nose is extremely dangerous because of their anatomical proximity to brain. Treatment is primarily medical but requires surgical expertise when progressed further. We report a rare case of a two and a half year old girl child with aural myiasis leading to tympanic membrane perforation and required surgical removal of the maggots.
