| الوصف: | Penile Hair Tourniquet Syndrome (HTS) is a rare event but a serious syndrome characterized by the presence of a hair coiled around the coronal sulcus of penis which causes a range of pathologies from glandular swelling to necrosis and amputation of penis. If diagnosis is delayed, long-term complications such as urethral fistula, urethral transection, and penile gangrene or amputation develop. Penile HTS is almost exclusively described in circumcised boys. Prevention of such major complications depends on awareness of the etiology and presence of a high index of suspicion. Herein, we aimed to present a boy who was 4 years old with a penile HTS caused by wrapping of his mother's hair coil. |
