case_images: POCUS images of the myiasis viewed in short axis (A), and in long axis (B): the structure presents as a hyperechoic object with a surrounding anechoic ring and shadow artifact deep field.

case_images: A longitudinal sausage-shaped structure (8 x 12mm) was identified within the subcutaneous tissue which demonstrated a thin anechoic ring surrounding a hyperechoic structure with acoustic shadowing (Figure 1). Instead the structure, and continuing deep-field, demonstrated constant alternating colours of Doppler signal, giving the appearance of turbulent blood flow (Figure 2, Videos S1 & S2).
