The article presents a study which examines the entomological aspects of aural myiasis for the otolaryngologist. The study uses manuscripts published between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 2012 in English language to examine the relationship of intracranial myiasis and aural myiasis. Results show that Sarcophagidae family is the common species in the reported aural myiasis case in the literature review.
