Abstract:
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. Herein, we report a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with periorbital ecchymosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pediatric patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the literature who presented with raccoon eyes.
