A rare case in Turkey: Cutaneous myiasis after traveling

Cutaneous myiasis is a localized infectious disease which affects humans and vertebrate animals. Most common causes of cutaneous myiasis worldwide are dipterous larvae of “Dermatobia hominis” and “Cordylobia anthropophaga.” Clinical presentations include nodules, ulcers, creeping eruption, and wound infections which may be localized anywhere on skin including trunk, scalp, and extremities. Here, we present a 30-year-old female patient consulted to our clinic who presented with erythematous lesions on her lower extremities after a visit to South America. According to her travel history, laboratory and imaging results, she was diagnosed with cutaneous myiasis. Etiology, clinical presentation, and surgical treatment options of myiasis, which is very rare in Turkey, are discussed

A RARE CASE OF AN EXTENSIVE SUBCUTANEOUS NECROSIS IN THE LEFT TEMPORAL REGION CAUSED BY ORANGE OIL INJECTION AND ITS MANAGEMENT

Orange oil (isoparaffin C11-C15) is a solvent material that dissolves tooth filling materials effectively. A 29-year-old male who had extensive subcutaneous left temporal necrosis after an in-advertent orange oil injection is presented. Due to the injection, an immediate oedema and cellulitis formed in the left buccal, zygomatic, and temporal region. After a prompt drainage and antibiotherapy, the patient's complaints were resolved. Due to partial temporal muscle necrosis and fibrosis, the interincisal mouth opening (IIO) was 15 millimeters. With a precise physical medicine and rehabilitation regimen, the IIO became 35 millimeters at the postoperative first year
