Abstract

Myiasis is a Greek-derived term (myia = fly) that describes infestations caused by maggots from Diptera order. It may present in a myriad of forms, but usually does in the cutaneous form, with migratory larvae infestation of the skin. We treated a two-year-old female patient who presented with syndactyly due to congenital constriction bands (Fig. 1). She developed an atypical case of myiasis infestation in post operative period. Parasite infestation due to Diptera order insects (myiasis) is a scaring event for patients and even for the assisting healthcare team. Despite not so frequent, the potential of complications such as secondary bacterial infection and invasive disease that may lead to death shall be considered, so that the condition severity cannot be minimized.

Keywords

myiasis - infestation - construction band syndrome
