Abstract

Hair thread tourniquet syndrome is rare and usually occurs in very young patients. The tourniquet syndrome may ocur in different parts of the body, particularly in toes, fingers, penis, clitoris, labia, neck and uvula. If the tourniquet not early diagnosed and treated promtply, serious complications may be occur. Irritability may be the only presenting symptom; thus, a high index of suspicion is required. Appropriate treatment is removal of the constricting fiber. We aimed to present a case of a four month old baby girl who had subtotal amputation in her toe finger.

Özet

Saç teline bağlı turnike sendromu, nadir rastlanan ve özellikle bebeklerde görülen bir klinik tablodur. Klinik olarak ayak, el parmakları, penis, klitoris, labia, boyun, uvulada olmak üzere farklı lokalizasyonlarda bulunabilir. Erken tanı konulup tedavi edilmezse ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Tek semptom irritabilite olabilir. Bu yüzden turnike sendromu bakımından şüpheci olmak gerekir. Tedavi yaklaşımı sıkışmış saç telinin çıkarılmasıdır. Biz, 4 aylık bir bebekte saç teline bağlı ayak parmağında subtotal amputasyon oluşan bir vakayı sunmayı amaçladık.
