Article Synopsis
- Myiasis is a rare condition where fly larvae infest tissue, with oral myiasis being particularly uncommon due to the mouth's unfavorable environment for larvae.
- The article presents two cases: a 75-year-old female with maggots in her lower lip post-maxillofacial trauma and an 18-year-old girl with swelling linked to cerebral palsy.
- Management strategies emphasized prevention through good hygiene, addressing open wounds, controlling flies, and promoting sanitation and health education.
