The differential diagnosis includes common diseases such as cellulitis and furunculosis; treatment is aimed at complete removal of larvae, either by manual pressure or surgical and most feared complication is secondary infection. A review of the literature in the context of the presentation of a clinical case of massive cutaneous myiasis, which mimicked brain invasion and required prolonged hospitalization under medical-surgical treatment is performed; in order to highlight the importance of knowledge of the disease, its evolution and emphasize on the most significant epidemiological, clinical, surgical and preventive aspects on this entity. In conclusion we assume that the myiasis is a preventable disease with a goodprognosis for cure, if detected and diagnosed early. MÉD.UIS. 2016;29(2):145-53.Keywords: Myiasis. Díptera. Larvae. Brain diseases. Treatment.La miasis es la infestación o parasitismo de los tejidos vivos o necróticos y órganos de humanos y animales provocada por larvas de dípteros, es endémica de zonas tropicales y subtropicales de América y África; más frecuente en hombres que en mujeres y en personas de mediana y tercera edad, viéndose afectados principalmente pacientes con alguna condición médica o anatómica predisponente. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye enfermedades comunes como la celulitis y forunculosis; su tratamiento está dirigido a la remoción total de las larvas, ya sea por presión manual o quirúrgica y su complicación más temida es la infección secundaria. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura en el contexto de la presentación de un caso clínico de miasis cutánea masiva, que simuló invasión cerebral y requirió hospitalización prolongada bajo tratamiento médico-quirúrgico, con el objetivo de resaltar la importancia del conocimiento de la enfermedad, su evolución y hacer énfasis sobre los aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, quirúrgicos y preventivos más importantes en relación con esta entidad. Como conclusión se asume que la miasis es una enfermedad prevenible, con un buen pronóstico de curación, si es detectada y diagnosticada a tiempo. MÉD.UIS. 2016;29(2):145-53.Palabras clave: Miasis.
