الوصف: Hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare condition. It is an important emergency condition where urgent attention is needed. In this condition, body appendages are strangulated by hair that acts like a tourniquet. A strand or strands of hair act like a circumferential constriction band and subsequently strangulate the body appendages. Commonly affected sites include fingers, toes or even genitals. Failure to identify and release the acute constriction may result in amputation of affected body part. We report two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome of the thumb and toe that were successfully released without complications.

الوصف: This report describes 2 new cases of toe tourniquet syndrome without accompanying signs of irritability. They were an 18-month-old girl and a 5-month-old boy suffering from strangulation of the third toe. The period of evolution was 20 days and 5 weeks. The toe worsened, with more extensive reddening and swelling, and deepening of the circular groove. Since a hair tourniquet was suspected, attempts were made to grasp the fiber with small-sized, blunt, and hook-shaped instruments, and mosquito clamp, with no success. The strand of hair compressing the toe lay deeper than expected. As improvement was barely noticeable, 2 dorsal paratendinous incisions were made and the hairs were extracted. Our aim is to raise awareness in the pediatric orthopaedic community of the existence of this syndrome, with a view to promoting the earliest possible diagnosis and appropriate management. In case of impossibility of removing the hairs we propose performing 2 dorsal paratendinous incisions, deep to the bone, to release completely the strangulation.
