Abstract
Oral foreign bodies and hair-thread tourniquets are fairly common findings. The combination of the two, however, is rarer. In this article, we present a case involving a hair-thread tourniquet of a circumvallate papillae (more commonly known as a "taste bud"). We discuss methods for removal of hair-thread tourniquets as well as techniques for examining children for oral foreign bodies.
