Raccoon eyes (also known in the UK as panda eyes) or periorbital ecchymosis is a sign of basal skull fracture.[1] It results from blood from skull fracture tracking down into the soft tissue around the eyes.

Raccoon eyes may also be a sign of disseminated neuroblastoma[2] or amyloidosis. It can also be a side effect of using cocaine.[citation needed]

Raccoon eyes may also be a sign of Multiple Myeloma.
