Myiasis is a condition in which flies are attracted to infected and/or necrotic tissues and deposit eggs that hatch into larvae. It may bring serious functional and aesthetic sequelae when involves nasal and parasinusal cavities; however, there is a lack of such reports in the literature.
Methods |
We present and briefly discuss herein the clinical and surgical management of nasosinusal myiasis in an elderly patient previously affected by mucocutaneous leishmaniosis.
Results |
Facial computed tomography was used to confirm the nasosinusal involvement. Next, osteotomies were performed, followed by the mechanical removal of larvae, bilateral sinusectomy and pharmacological therapy.
Conclusion |
A complicated case of nasosinusal myiasis was surgically managed, resulting in a good prognosis for the patient.
