“…Nasal myiasis signs and symptoms are usually related to the presence and movement of the larvae, which include foreign-body sensation, with or without movement sensation; nasal pain; facial pain; blood-stained or mucopurulent nasal discharge; epistaxis; foul smell; and anosmia (131,213,345). All but 20% of 252 patients in one study reported a history of maggots coming out of the nose.…”

SUMMARY Myiasis is defined as the infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) with dipterous larvae. In mammals (including humans), dipterous larvae can feed on the host's living or dead tissue, liquid body substance, or ingested food and cause a broad range of infestations depending on the body location and the relationship of the larvae with the host. In this review, we deeply discuss myiasis as a worldwide infestation with different agents and with its broad scenario of clinical manifestations as well as diagnosis techniques and treatment.

“…Ophthalmomyiasis externa refers to the superficial infestation of ocular tissue where the patient presents with complaints of acute foreign-body sensation with lacrimation whereas nasal myiasis presents as foreign-body sensation, nasal discharge and facial pain [6][7][8]. Although external ophthalmomyiasis is relatively common in tropical countries, there are only handful of reports of naso-ophthalmic myiasis available in published literature [9,10].…”

Abstract:A 15 year old girl presented to the emergency with complaints of foreign body sensation in eyes. Multiple translucent larvae were observed on the conjunctivae. A nasal cavity search also revealed similar larvae localised near the opening of nasolacrimal duct in the inferior meatus. They were identified as Oestrus ovis, which can affect humans causing cavitary myiasis, affecting eyes and rarely nose. In addition, presence of Pthirus pubis was also found in the nasal cavity. Pthirus pubis infestation has been reported from pubic hairs, axillary hairs, eyelashes, moustache and beard but never from the nasal cavity. This is a very rare case of concomitant ophthalmic and nasal myiasis along with pubic louse infestation of nasal cavity.Key words: Foreign Bodies, Larva, Myiasis, Nasal Cavity, Nasolacrimal Duct.
