Abstract EN
Myiasis, an infestation of humans or animals with dipterous maggots, is rarely encountered in developed countries but should be suspected in patients who present with animate nasal foreign bodies.
We report the case of an 18-year-old male who presented with bilateral nasal discharge to our tertiary hospital in Bahrain.
The diagnosis of nasal myiasis was confirmed by parasitological microscopic assessment and the patient was treated accordingly.
Our patient had an excellent prognosis due to prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Although the parasitological confirmation of nasal myiasis determines the type of larva, treatment should not be delayed in lieu of parasitological confirmation
