Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Area of Science:

Otorhinolaryngology
Parasitology

Background:

Nasal myiasis is an uncommon infestation of the nasal cavity by fly larvae.
There is no established treatment consensus for nasal myiasis.

Observation:

Two intensive care unit (ICU) patients presented with simultaneous nasal myiasis.
Neither patient had tumors, necrotic masses, or significant medical comorbidities.

Findings:

A conservative treatment regimen involving pyrantel pamoate, saline sinus irrigation, and endoscopic debridement was implemented.
Nasal myiasis resolved completely within 2 days in both patients.
Both patients recovered without any lasting complications.

Implications:

This conservative, non-surgical approach is a safe and effective method for managing nasal myiasis.
The proposed treatment strategy may be beneficial for similar cases, particularly in critical care settings.
Further research could validate this conservative management protocol for nasal myiasis.
