This report describes a rare case of a toddler who briefly lost consciousness after becoming entangled in a sibling's long hair.

Orbit & Oculofacial Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology, National University Hospital, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics, etiology, fracture types, interventions and treatment outcomes, with a focus on the increasing role of bioresorbable implants compared to traditional non-resorbable implants in pediatric orbital fractures.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, National University Hospital, Singapore, of pediatric patients (aged 18 years or younger) treated surgically for orbital fractures from January 2005 to May 2023. Data was extracted from the hospital's electronic medical records, including demographic details, causes of fractures, types of fractures, implants used (bioresorbable and non-bioresorbable), and clinical outcomes.
