Abstract

Schistosoma mansoni is common in Nigeria as well as in other countries of West Africa (Edington, 1979). The eggs are laid in the small venules of the submucosal layer of the intestinal wall and pass out usually in the faeces but some may enter the blood stream to be found in any organ of the body (Edington et al., 1975). However, a careful search of the available literature failed to reveal any report of schistosomiasis in the ear and hence it was decided to publish this rare case.
