Headaches and visual complaints are common conditions encountered in the emergency department. While a patient's age, risk factors, and comorbidities often aid in risk stratification and guide emergency department evaluation, atypical presentations of serious disease may still occur in young otherwise healthy patients CASE: In this vignette we discuss a case of ocular (choroidal) melanoma in a 21 year-old female patient who presented with recurrent photopsia and headaches.
