Abstract
Myiasis rarely occurs in the eyelids. We report a 3-year-old girl with a myiasis of the upper eyelid after a trip to Central America. A 1.5 cm larva of a Dermatobia hominis was excised. Infestation with D. hominis should be suspected when a localized swelling with a central fistula in an eyelid is present in patients who have been to Central and South America.Entities:
