Myiasis is infestation of the body by fly maggots. Immobile patients with skin wounds in exposed areas are at high risk of developing myiasis. We report a case of orbital myiasis from the species Chrysomya bezziana complicating squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid. Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbit is useful for delineating the extent of the infestation and identifying residual maggots. In extensive orbital myiasis, exenteration is needed to prevent intracranial extension of tissue destruction.
蝇蛆病是指蝇蛆寄生于人体。身体不能活动且皮肤有伤口的暴露部位的患者易发生蝇蛆病。我们报告了一例由眼脸鳞状细胞癌并发的嗜人瘤蝇属（Chrysomya bezziana）引起的眼眶蝇蛆病。眼眶磁共振成像有助于描绘感染范围，并识别残留的蛆。对于广泛的眼眶蝇蛆病，需要进行眶内容剜除术，以防止组织破坏向颅内延伸。
