Hair tourniquet syndrome has been a recognized clinical entity for many decades. In this syndrome, hair becomes tightly wrapped around an appendage, usually that of an infant. Body parts involved include the finger, toe, penis, clitoris, and uvula. The end result of necrosis is also well documented. In this report, an 11-month-old girl with hair tourniquet syndrome causing signs and symptoms of an acute strangulation is presented.
