[Strangulation of glans penis by hair or "penis tourniquet syndrome"].
The authors report 5 cases of strangulation of the penis with hair in children. This affection, more seen frequently within socially disadvantaged children, needs early diagnosis and treatment because it may be responsible for glans amputation. A better knowledge of this accident by parents and physicians might prevent this barbaric aggression.
