The patient had a swollen, reddish-colorright second toe with hyperemia. The parents did not know for how long the toe was affected. When ananmese was deepened,no disorder was learned observing at birth. No other disorder was observed by the parents until they visited the emergencydepartment at noon. No pathology was detected on plain radiographs. By continuing physical examination, a hair-wire wrappingaround the toe with linear skin lesion was explored. Lesion was over extensor tendon on the dorsal face and intracutaneous onthe plantar face. The wire was meticulously removed, and the dorsal skin lesion was sutured. Proper wound care was performed.On the 10th day, the sutures were removed. No sequelae were observed on follow-up. Based on the attitude of the parents and thecooperation of medical professionals, the case was considered to be a baby care-related accident.Conclusion: Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome of an affected limb part is a life-threatening condition.
