Abstract
An 11-week-old infant presented with swelling and discoloration of the left second toe because of hair thread tourniquet syndrome. This was treated by urgent surgical release of the constricting band, with a successful outcome. The authors stress the importance of recognising this rare condition and of prompt, complete, surgical release.
