Orbital myiasis is the infestation of the orbital tissues by fly larvae or maggots. Compromise of periorbital tissues by malignant disease, surgery, ischemia, or infection may predispose the patient to orbital myiasis.<jats:italic>Case Report<\/jats:italic>. A 73-year-old male patient with neglected recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid invasive into the orbit presented with complaints of intense itching and crawling sensation with maggots wriggling and falling from the wound of left orbit. The patient improved following manual removal of the maggots along with oral Ivermectin treatment. Recurrence of the basal cell carcinoma was confirmed by punch biopsy from the wound and extended exenteration of the orbit followed by reconstructive surgery was done.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Orbital myiasis is a rare and preventable ocular morbidity that can complicate the malignancies resulting in widespread tissue destruction. The broad spectrum antiparasitic agent, Ivermectin, can be used as noninvasive means to treat orbital myiasis. In massive orbital myiasis and those associated with malignancies, exenteration of the orbit must be seriously considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/2904346","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,9]],"date-time":"2016-08-09T17:00:44Z","timestamp":1470762044000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Case of Orbital Myiasis in Recurrent Eyelid Basal Cell Carcinoma Invasive into the Orbit"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1587-6481","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Triptesh Raj","family":"Pandey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, B.P.
