Hair tourniquet syndrome is the strangulation of body appendages by a thread of hair. If neglected, it results in lymphatic obliteration, venous congestion, and arterial obstruction. A 25 years lady with a history of insect bite presented with intense itching and painful swelling in the left labia minora for three days. She had tied the swollen part with a bunch of hair strands leading to painful swelling. Local inspection revealed a 2x2 cm swelling in the left labia minora. The tourniquet effect was released by cutting the hair. Hair tourniquet syndrome involving female genitalia requires immediate recognition and treatment. Keywords: Hair tourniquet syndrome; hair-thread tourniquet syndrome; labia minora.
头发止血带综合征是指身体附属物被头发线缠绕而导致的绞勒。如果不及时处理，可能会导致淋巴阻塞、静脉充血和动脉阻塞。一位 25 岁的女性，有昆虫叮咬史，左侧小阴唇出现剧烈瘙痒和疼痛性肿胀 3 天。她用一束头发绑住肿胀部位，导致肿胀加剧和疼痛。局部检查显示左侧小阴唇有一个 2x2cm 的肿胀。通过剪断头发，释放了止血带的束缚。涉及女性生殖器的头发止血带综合征需要立即识别和治疗。关键词：头发止血带综合征；头发线止血带综合征；小阴唇。
