%X pseudomyiasis is the term used for the accidental entrapment of swallowed fly maggots and/or eggs immediately passing through the digestive tract. we report a case of intestinal pseudomyasis caused by the larvae of the cosmopolitan drone fly eristalis tenax (diptera: syrphidae) in a 39 year old woman, resident in a suburban sector from coro city, falcon state, venezuela. the patient immediately noticed a living larva in her stool. although patient referred eventually became colic, her physical examination was normal, with no mental disturbance. she was in a low socioeconomic level. this is the first report of an enteric pseudomyasis by e. tenax in the semiarid zone of falcon state, in the northwestern region of venezuela.
