ABSTRACT
Dirofilariasis in deep tissue plane is seldom reported in literature. A 58 year old woman presented with right orbital abscess complicating ethmoid sinusitis. She underwent endoscopic ethmoidectomy with abscess drainage where a dirofilaria worm was extracted. Treatment requires surgical removal of the worm without the need for anti-parasitic medications.
