    Penile tourniquet syndrome, caused by constricting hair, can lead to penile swelling in children. Early diagnosis is crucial, even when the foreign body isn't immediately visible.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Penile swelling in children can be alarming for parents and requires careful clinical evaluation.
    • Identifying the underlying cause is essential for appropriate management and preventing complications.

    Observation:

    • A 2.5-year-old boy presented with a six-week history of penile swelling.
    • Physical examination revealed multiple hair strands constricting the penis, embedded beneath the penile epithelium.

    Findings:

    • The constricting hair strands acted as a tourniquet, causing significant penile edema.
    • This case highlights hair as a potential, often overlooked, foreign body causing penile constriction.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider penile tourniquet syndrome in cases of unexplained penile swelling in pediatric patients.
    • Increased awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis and intervention, preventing potential long-term sequelae.
