ABSTRACT

Sixteen larvae fell from the nose of a 16-year-old girl, who had been hospitalized in the anesthesia intensive care unit for 4 days because of a traffic accident and had been evaluated as E1M2V1 according to Glaskow Coma Scale. These larvae were examined macroscopically and microscopically and it was determined that they were second stage Sarcophage spp. larvae. There was no lesion in the nose of the patient.
