Abstract

Myiasis is the infestation of tissues and organs of vertebrate animals and humans by the larval stages of dipterous flies. In present case, a four year old child living in Silopi was applied to our clinic with complaints of otalgia, pruritus and otorrhea in the right ear. In the physical examination, aural fetor, secretion and several foreign bodies were observed. Twenty living maggots were removed from the external auditory canal EAC using surgical forceps. The maggots were identified as third phase larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica. In conclusion, patient should be examined for aural myiasis in case of otalgia, otorrhea, itching, and hearing impairments, especially in children
