Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Parasitology
  • Tropical Medicine

Background:

  • Nasal myiasis is prevalent in tropical regions, causing significant intranasal tissue damage.
  • Maggots can infiltrate deep, inaccessible nasal and paranasal sinus areas, complicating manual removal.
  • Manual extraction often requires multiple sessions and may be ineffective for deep-seated infestations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of nasal endoscopic procedures versus manual extraction for treating nasal myiasis.
  • To evaluate the benefits of direct visualization in maggot removal from deep nasal structures.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study evaluating manual extraction against nasal endoscopic maggot removal.
  • Nasal endoscopy utilized for direct visualization and removal of maggots from intranasal and paranasal sinus tissues.

Main Results:

  • Nasal endoscopic procedures demonstrated superiority over manual extraction for maggot removal.
  • Endoscopic approach facilitated easier access to maggots in deep and inaccessible areas.
  • The endoscopic method led to disease control in fewer sittings and a shorter overall treatment time.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal endoscopy is a more effective and efficient treatment for nasal myiasis than manual extraction.
  • Endoscopic removal allows for quicker and complete eradication of myiasis, preventing irreparable tissue damage.
  • Direct visualization via nasal endoscopy improves outcomes for patients with deep nasal myiasis.
