AB A  3-year-old  girl  presents  to  the  emergency  department  with  decreased  appetite,  fatigue,  and  irritability  for  1  month.  She  has  periorbital  ecchymoses  (raccoon  eyes)  without  a  history  of  trauma  (Figure  212-1).  A  CT  scan  is  ordered  to  look  for  a  neuroblastoma.  The  CT  scan  of  her  orbit  shows  bony  erosions  and  periosteal  reaction  of  her  orbits.  An  MRI  scan  of  her  abdomen  reveals  a  primary  adrenal  tumor.  A  biopsy  is  performed  of  the  adrenal  tumor  confirming  the  diagnosis  of  neuroblastoma.  She  responds  well  to  several  courses  of  chemotherapy.
