AB  - Hair  tourniquet  syndrome  or  hair-thread  tourniquet  syndrome  refers  to  the  circumferential  constriction  of  a  finger,  a  toe,  or  the  genitalia  by  hair  or  cloth  fibers  (Figure  122-1).  Contraction  of  the  tourniquet  can  lead  to  pain,  tissue  injury,  and  tissue  necrosis  if  untreated.  Infants  and  young  children  under  2  years  of  age  are  predominantly  affected.1-3  Genital  hair  tourniquets  that  affect  the  clitoris  or  labia  are  not  as  common  and  tend  to  occur  in  older  children.3-5  Hair  tourniquets  can  rarely  affect  oral  structures.6-8
