“…Toes have been reported as the most commonly affected appendage. However, the condition could as well be seen in the fingers, genitals or the uvula 6, 7, 8. There is no information about the side of the toes mostly affected, but in our series, the right side was statistically significantly higher (p = 0.019).…”

ObjectiveHair tourniquet syndrome is an uncommon condition characterized by strangulation appendages by a hair or thread. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of hair removal and antibiotic therapy in our patients with hair tourniquet syndrome.MethodsBetween January 2012 and August 2018, 16 patients (8 boys, 8 girls; mean age: 118.5 [range: 20 to 380] days) were treated surgically for hair tourniquet syndrome. All patients were treated surgically under local or general anesthesia in the pediatric emergency department or in the operating theater using magnifying loupes. The age, gender, affected fingers or toes and the affected sides of the patients and the duration of symptoms until presentation were recorded.ResultsA total of 24 toes and fingers were treated for hair tourniquet syndrome. The right side was affected in 12 patients, the left side was affected in three, and both sides in one. The second toe was affected in three patients, the third toe in eleven, the fourth in six, and the fifth in two patients. Both the thumb and the second finger were affected in one patient. The average duration of the symptoms (excessive crying, swelling, redness) was 1.5 (range: 1 to 2) days. All patients healed without any complications.ConclusionHair tourniquet syndrome should be kept in mind as an etiology in infants with toe and finger strangulation. These patients should be examined undressed. Immediate removal of hair is an effective treatment method to save appendage.Level of evidenceLevel IV, Therapeutic Study

“…The clinical entity known as hair tourniquet syndrome was described long ago and occurs when a piece of hair or thread is tightly wrapped around an appendage, such as the digits or genitalia [1], [2]. This clinical scenario typically arises in the pediatric patient population [3], [4]. The majority of cases involve infants that present early to the emergency department or primary health care center and exhibit a good response after releasing the tourniquet [5].…”

Hair tourniquet syndrome is a clinical phenomenon that involves hair or thread becoming so tightly wrapped around an appendage that pain, swelling and occasionally ischemia result. We report two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome that affected the digits and were treated with hair removal cream, which was an easy, effective and less invasive treatment method compared with standard managements such as incision or blunt probe cutting techniques.

“…The location wasn't defined in the 4 cases but there were suspects of child abuse and neglect that couldn't be proved by physicians [4,8]. In 3 cases of midpenile strangulation, the first case had admitted that he tied his penis due to enuresis, the second had admitted, he tied but there was no reason, and third had not admitted anything at all [1,6,9].…”

Though the penile tourniquet syndrome is rarely seen, it is a disease which causes complications from a simple edema to severe necrosis and amputation. Whether simple or complicated, the penile strangulation that is the causative factor, except babies, whom are usually questionable. Our aim is to investigate the relation between perpetrators and location of disease in the penile tourniquet syndrome.
