Periorbital ecchymoses or "raccoon eyes" in the neonate/infant may be due to basal skull fractures or neuroblastoma.A term male baby born by vacuum-assisted delivery developed a medium size subgaleal hematoma on the first day of life (DOL). On the third DOL, bilateral periorbital ecchymosis (raccoon eyes) developed. The cerebral ultrasound, hematologic and coagulation studies were normal. The raccoon eyes were interpreted as an extension of the subgaleal hematoma to the orbital ridges. At DOL 38, he was thriving and the raccoon eyes were resolved."Raccoon eyes" may result from a subgaleal hematoma without fracture caused by birth trauma.

Article Synopsis
- - Thelazia callipaeda is a parasitic worm that infects the eyes of various animals, including dogs, cats, and even humans, and is spread by specific fly species.
- - In Japan, this parasite is spreading northward and has been reported in several wild mammals, marking them as new hosts, along with domestic animals and humans.
- - Genetic analysis showed two unique lineages of T. callipaeda in Japan, indicating a broad range of hosts and suggesting that wildlife plays an important role in the spread of this parasite.

Raccoon's eyes (periorbital ecchymosis) may present as the first sign in patients with skull base/base/facial fractures and tumors. In childhood, orbital metastases of neuroblastoma should be considered in the absence of trauma history.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of antithrombotics on the occurrence of maxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms, and to determine if these haemorrhagic symptoms are predictors of maxillofacial fractures.
Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted of consecutive patients with maxillofacial trauma who had been admitted to the emergency department of four hospitals in the Netherlands. This study compared five haemorrhagic symptoms (peri-orbital haematoma, raccoon eyes, epistaxis, subconjunctival ecchymosis, and intra-oral haematoma) between patients not-using (NUA) and using (UA) of antithrombotics, and whether these maxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms served as predictors for maxillofacial fractures.
