Abstract
We have observed a condition similar to, and equally as serious as that described by Dr. Quinn as the "Toe Tourniquet Syndrome."1 Last year, while practicing as a resident physician in a busy pediatric emergency room, we treated five male infants for a condition which consisted of prolonged crying and tourniquetting of the penis by human hair. The duration of this condition was shorter than that described by Quinn, probably because the frequency of maternal inspection of this part of the anatomy is higher than that of the toes.
