Abstract
Pressure ulcers are the loss of tissue and remain a common problem in critically ill patients. These patients are at high risk for developing pressure ulcers because of their hemodynamic instability, malnutrition, and strictly limited physical activity and mobility due to neurological damage or drugs such as sedatives and muscle relaxants. Pressure is the most important cause of pressure ulcers. Contact surfaces such as patient’s bed or wheelchair, and some medical devices such as pulse oximetry probe and urethral catheter can result in pressure. The case is reported here of a very rare cause of a pressure ulcer, which was a single hair on the patient’s face. 
Keywords : Pressure ulcer, Critically Illness, Malnutrition, Oximetry, Urinary Catheters.
