Abstract

Strangulation of the limbs by wrapping them with hair or thread leads to a syndrome called hair-thread tourniquet syndrome. If early diagnosis and correct treatment is not performed, it may result in loss of the affected tissues. The time between the development of the event and the removal of the hair-thread is important. In this paper, a 2.5-month-old girl with swelling of the 3rd and 4th toes of the left foot due to hair entanglement is presented.

Özet

Uzuvların saç telleri veya iplik ile sarılarak boğulmaları “saç-iplik turnike sendromu” olarak adlandırılan bir sendroma yol açar. Erken tanı konulmaz ve doğru tedavi uygulanmaz ise etkilenen dokuların kaybı ile sonuçlanabilir. Olayın gelişimi ile saç-ipliğin uzaklaştırılması arasındaki süre önemlidir. Bu olguda, saç teli dolanması nedeniyle sol ayak 3. ve 4. parmaklarda şişlik gelişen 2,5 aylık bir kız bebek sunulmaktadır.
