Abstract
"Myiasis" is considered in Hindu mythology as "God's punishment for sinners". Literature abounds with reports of myiasis affecting the nasal cavity, ear, non healing ulcers, exophytic malignant growth and cutaneous tissue. But case report of myiasis of the tracheostomy wound is relatively rare and that also peristomally is seen first time. We are reporting two cases whose tracheostomy was done, one for laryngeal cancer and other for laryngocoele. We are discussing the need for the proper care of tracheostomy wound myiasis because the site of such an infestation is close to vital organs in the neck and avoiding complications.
