Hair Tourniquet Syndrome Involving the Uvula Secondary to an Airway Foreign Body.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare condition that can cause ischemia and necrosis secondary to hair fibers constricting a patient's appendages. Typically, the syndrome affects patients aged two to six months. Hair tourniquet syndrome often involves the toes, fingers, or genitalia, and it has been rarely reported to have oropharyngeal manifestations. Accurate and timely treatment of this syndrome is imperative to save the involved appendage. We discuss a case of a six-month-old female who presented to the emergency room (ER) with increased agitation and was found to have hair tourniquet syndrome of the uvula, requiring the removal of the foreign body in the operating room (OR).
