The topic Myiasis of the Ear you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Aural Myiasis.

Quick Summary:

• Myiasis is primarily a skin disease caused by several species of parasitic fly larva (of taxonomic order Diptera). The fly larvae (maggots) cause disease in humans and other vertebrate animals by feeding on the tissues. The infection is usually characterized by a painful, itchy, boil-like skin lesion that contains the parasite within it
• Aural Myiasis or Otomyiasis is an uncommon form of myiasis that typically develops in the external and/or middle ear presenting earache, mild to severe hearing impairment, itching, and pus-filled to bloody discharge
• The factors that may cause Aural Myiasis include poor standards of living, severe otitis media (ear infection), mental retardation, and poor personal hygiene, among other factors. The condition is usually caused by screw-worms and flesh flies that lay their eggs or deposit larvae in the ear canal
• Aural Myiasis can cause severe and extensive tissue destruction and serious complications, if not immediately addressed. Management of the condition involves removal of all larvae followed by surgical debridement of necrotic tissue. Nevertheless, the prognosis of Aural Myiasis depends on its severity; mild cases have better prognosis than severe cases
