الوصف: Penile hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare phenomenon that classically affects boys during their first few years of life. We report a late presentation of an 8-year old nonverbal, severely autistic male with a several-month-long history of a progressing penile hair tourniquet. The persistence of this constricting band led to severe anatomic defects, including near amputation of the glans, with transection of the urethra creating a distal fistula, and erosion through the majority of the cavernosal bodies. Our case highlights the critical importance of vigilant care and high index of suspicion, particularly in vulnerable patient populations such as young boys with autism spectrum disorder. Urgent evaluation and removal of the offending foreign body is required, with use of sedation or anesthesia if necessary.

الوصف: 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.
