📋 Tender Overview
Doctors from the Childrens Clinical Hospital performed emergency surgery on a four-month-old patient.He was in danger of having his finger amputated due to a rare but dangerous condition called pilaris syndrome.
An infant was admitted to the surgical department with swelling and blue discoloration of the third toe of the right foot.Mom found a foreign object around her finger,
similar to a thread, and tried to partially remove it - but part of the hair remained deep in the tissues.
Despite attempts at treatment at the local clinic, the condition of the finger did not improve.Then the little patient was urgently hospitalized at the Childrens Childrens Clinical Hospital.
The diagnosis made by surgeons was pilaris syndrome.This condition occurs when a hair or thread wraps around a finger or other area of the body and tightens it, like a garrote.In children, the skin is very thin, and the subcutaneous fat is loose, so the coarse hair of adults easily penetrates the skin, disrupting blood circulation.
Surgeons removed a fragment of hair that was deeply embedded in the tissue.Mom recognized her hair in it.The very next day after the operation, doctors noted positive dynamics -
the finger began to recover.Thanks to timely intervention, amputation was avoided.
Hair rope syndrome is not an isolated case: this situation can occur in any family.
