Saç iplik turnike sendromu süt çocuğunda nadir görülen bir hastalıktır, erken tanı alıp tedavi edilmediğinde doku kaybına neden olabilen tehlikeli bir durumdur. Bu sendrom ayak ve el parmakları, penis, klitoris, boyun ve uvulada görülebilir. Dolaşımı bozarak ödem, iskemi ve doku nekrozuna neden olur. Bu durum strangüle organların otoamputasyonuna neden olabilir. Biz 3. ve 4. parmaklara dolanmış ve başarıyla tedavi edilmiş 1.5 aylık kız çocuğu olgusu sunduk.

“…When diagnosis is delayed, the tourniquet effect causes lymphatic and venous congestion, which can lead to an insult to arterial perfusion . Sequelae include infection, nonhealing ulcers, distal segment rotation, and pseudoainhum . The cornerstone of treatment is release of the tourniquet, and a treatment algorithm has been reported using chemical and mechanical means …”

A 2-year-old girl presented with a 2-month history of an erythematous, indurated plaque with well-defined borders on the third toe of the right foot. Bedside high-resolution ultrasonography demonstrated a thickened epidermis overlying a hyperechoic focus within the dermis. Her clinical and sonographic presentation was in keeping with a foreign body causing hair-thread tourniquet syndrome. The foreign body was surgically extirpated without neurovascular sequelae. Ultrasonography expedited accurate diagnosis and is a promising adjunct to clinical evaluation for radiolucent foreign bodies.

Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the encircling of an appendage by a hair or thread. It usually occurs in children under the age of one year. The tourniquet syndrome may occur in different parts of the body, particularly in toes, fingers, penis, clitoris, labia, neck and uvula. It is an emergency condition that induces progressive edema, ischaemia and tissue necrosis and can lead to autoamputation of digits or other strangulated structures. Emergency treatment is careful removal of the constricting fiber. We report a preterm newborn with hair-thread tourniquet syndrome affecting multiple toes born at the 28th gestational week with the aim of preventing potential complications by increasesing awareness of the condition.
