Case Report- Penile tourniquet injury due to a coil of hair
Chaware SureshM, Gajbhiye Raj, Singh AK
Abstract
Penile strangulation caused by a coil of hair is frequently an unrecognized clinical entity with several potential complications, such as necrosis of glans penis, urethrocutaneous fistulae and partial or complete amputation of the glans. We report on a 7 year old boy with a tourniquet injury to the penis secondary to strands of hair being tied around the glans at the level of the corona.
