and analyze the complications that have arisen in the untimely treatment of turnstile syndrome
in children. Materials and methods. The analysis of Russian and foreign literary
sources of the causes of turnstile syndrome, its occurrence in the world and in the Penza region,
the features of the clinic and diagnosis are considered. Two clinical cases of 50-day
toe strangulation in a 6-month-old child and turnstile syndrome of the clitoris in a 10-yearold
girl in the outpatient practice of a pediatric surgeon are given. The description of the
treatment tactics of these patients is given. Results. If edema and hyperemia of any part of
the body are detected, as well as if there is a trace of compression of soft tissues, it is always
