Three children between the ages of 18 months and four years presented with a discharging sinus or sinuses at the wrist due to a 'sacred' thread (the Moli Dhaga) which had been tied around it. This thread had been forgotten by the parents and had become embedded in the soft tissues of the wrist. Plain radiographs showed a circumferential constriction in the soft tissue shadow in all three. In two, there was a periosteal reaction in the distal radius or ulna with an indentation which we have called the constriction sign. Surgical removal of the buried thread was successful in all cases.
三名年龄在18个月至4岁之间的儿童因手腕上系着的“圣线”（莫利·达加）而出现手腕处一个或多个排脓性窦道。这根线被家长遗忘，已嵌入手腕的软组织中。普通X线片显示，所有三名儿童的软组织阴影处均有环形缩窄。其中两名儿童的桡骨远端或尺骨出现骨膜反应，并伴有一个压痕，我们称之为缩窄征。所有病例通过手术成功取出了埋藏的线。
