Résumé
Hair tourniquet syndrome occurs when a strand of hair or thread becomes wrapped around an appendage, causing injury which can progress to ischemia, necrosis or autoamputation. A 2 year old uncircumcised male presented with 1 day of erythema to base of penis followed by a bleeding wound of 5 hours duration. On examination, there was circumferential separation of shaft skin at the base of the penis. Examination of diaper revealed a coiled strand of maternal hair. Debridement and primary repair were done, with an uneventful recovery. This represents an unusual presentation, as both the site and pattern of injury were atypical.
