Hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare condition. It is an important emergency condition where urgent attention is needed. In this condition, body appendages are strangulated by hair that acts like a tourniquet. A strand or strands of hair act like a circumferential constriction band and subsequently strangulate the body appendages. Commonly affected sites include fingers, toes or even genitals. Failure to identify and release the acute constriction may result in amputation of affected body part. We report two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome of the thumb and toe that were successfully released without complications.
毛发束带综合征是一种罕见病症。它是一种需要紧急关注的重要急症。在这种病症中，身体附属部位被类似束带的毛发勒紧。一缕或多缕毛发如同环形束带，随后勒紧身体附属部位。常见受累部位包括手指、脚趾甚至生殖器。未能识别并解除急性束带可能导致受累身体部位被截肢。我们报告了两例拇指和脚趾的毛发束带综合征病例，成功解除束带且未出现并发症。
