Abstract

Appendages may be strangulated by fibers of hair or thread wrapping, resulting in a syndrome named as "hair-thread tourniquet syndrome". If not recognized early and treated properly, this syndrome may result in the loss of the involved appandages. No report of recurrence could be found in the english literature. In this report, two recurrent cases of this syndrome involving the toes are presented, who were treated successfully before any tissue necrosis has developed.

Özet

Uzuvların saç telleri ya da iplik ile sarılarak boğulmaları "saç-iplik turnike" sendromu olarak adlandırılan bir sendroma yol açar. Tanı erken konulmazsa ve doğru tedavi uygulanmazsa bu sendrom, tutulan bölgelerin kaybı ile sonuçlanabilir. Literatürde tekrarlayan bir olgu sunumuna rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, ayak parmaklarının tutulduğu, nekroz gelişmeden başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilmiş iki takrarlayan vaka sunulmuştur.
