A case report on oral myiasis in Saudi Arabia
Radwan Mahmood Khayat, DDS
Oral myiasis is a rare disease that is mostly reported in developing countries. It is primarily caused by the invasion of the human body by fly larvae. This case report describes the presentation of oral myiasis as an enlarged buccal gingival pocket in an 8-year old Saudi male who recently returned from Syria. This case of myiasis was caused by flies of the Sarcophagidae family which can affect all age groups, and may be fatal in infants.
