    A rare case of choroidal osteomas is presented in an 11-year-old boy with headaches and vomiting. The diagnosis was confirmed through ophthalmoscopy, ultrasonography, and CT scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Oncology

    Background:

    • Histiocytosis X is a rare group of disorders characterized by an overproduction of histiocytes.
    • Intracranial masses can present with varied neurological symptoms in children.

    Observation:

    • An 11-year-old boy presented with occipital headaches, nausea, and vomiting, initially suspected as histiocytosis X.
    • Cranial CT revealed a mass near the choroid plexus, which was surgically removed but non-diagnostic.
    • Ophthalmologic examination identified bilateral macular choroidal tumors.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation, combined with ophthalmoscopy, ultrasonography, and CT, led to the diagnosis of choroidal osteomas.
    • Choroidal osteomas are benign tumors composed of mature bone, typically found in the choroid layer of the eye.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach, including ophthalmologic evaluation, for pediatric intracranial and ocular findings.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis of choroidal osteomas is crucial for appropriate management and to rule out more aggressive pathologies.
