Introduction: Myiasis is a condition caused by infestation of fly larvae on skin and other tissues, being more frequent in underdeveloped and tropical countries. In addition, when diagnosed and treated late, it can lead to death. Objective: there are several forms of treatment described, the choice of therapy varies according to the number of larvae, and the tissue involved. The purpose of this paper is to report two clinical cases of myiasis involving the maxillofacial region, demonstrating the efficiency and safety of the therapy chosen. Case report: Two patients were treated by mechanical removal of the larvae using clamp and oral administration of antiparasitic (Ivermectin 12mg, single dose). A total reduction of worm larvae was observed with no significant intercurrence. Conclusion: The mechanical removal of larvae associated with single dose Ivermectin is a viable option for the treatment of myiasis in the maxillofacial region.
