To correct the above entry. This type of bruising is actually called Periorbital ecchmoses (raccoon's eyes) and not Battle's sign
See http://www.emedicine.com/NEURO/topic575.htm
Look for signs of a basilar skull fracture. These include bilateral periorbital ecchymoses (raccoon's eyes) and retroauricular ecchymoses (Battle sign).
