Hair Thread Tourniquet Syndrome of Penis Causing Urethral Fistula.

We report a six-year-old boy, who presented to the Emergency Department with history of poor urine stream and dysuria for one week. There was no history of fever or urinary retention. General physical and abdominal examination was normal. Local examination showed a tight band of hair around the shaft of penis in coronal sulcus causing a tourniquet-like compression (Fig. 1). The glans was engorged and the band of hair seemed to be buried into urethra ventrally.
