Abstract

We present the case of an adolescent male who presented to the emergency department with headache and vomiting. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the need to maintain a high index of suspicion to avoid missing ominous causes of headache. In this case, the patient had a pineoblastoma, detected on a noncontrast CT scan. The CT scan was done as part of the emergency department workup to evaluate headache accompanied by vomiting in this otherwise healthy teenager.
