Abstract
We report a case of an 11-year-old columbian immigrant with mild non-specific cephalalgia. He had a previous history of frontal fracture and skin infestation caused by Dermatobia hominis larvae. MRI performed revealed multiple subependymal and intraventricular lesions with concentric blooming artifacts and moderate hydrocephalus. Based on his previous history, intracerebral myiasis diagnosis was suggested. His mother denied any kind of diagnostic surgery or treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first MRI report of a possible intracerebral myiasis, an exceedingly rare entity.
