    Area of Science:

    • Medical Case Reports
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare condition where a hair constricts a body part.
    • It most commonly affects digits but can occur in other appendages.

    Observation:

    • Presents two cases of accidental appendage strangulation due to hair wrapping.
    • Both cases involved delayed presentation and significant swelling.

    Findings:

    • Hair tourniquet syndrome requires prompt recognition and intervention.
    • Treatment involves hair removal and assessment for secondary complications.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering hair tourniquet syndrome in cases of appendage strangulation.
    • Emphasizes the need for timely management to prevent tissue damage and preserve function.
