Something doesn't quite add up, my impression was that raccoon eyes are actual bruising around the eyes related to head trauma (black eyes). I think if this was the case, you'd either have bruising around only one eye, or it would be a sign of a more serious brain injury or a skull fracture? You had none of these. I am not a doctor, but I think bruising around both eyes from a just a concussion might be possible but rare. If yours were only heavy dark bags, in my opinion they sound more like allergic shiners, or 'dark circles' which are caused by numerous less sinister things. Did you have actual bruising which took a long time to disappear? Last edited by luduplo; 09-16-2012 at 06:32 AM. |

Bruising around both eyes (raccoon eyes) is a classic symptom of a Basilar Skull Fracture. Im not sure if this is what you have since you said you had dark bags, and not necessarily bruises. But a CT scan would usually pick up a skull fracture and you didnt mention that you had any abnormalities. Rest up as much as you can and take good care of your body and your brain!! Good luck!

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability. Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again! I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients. |
