Abstract:
This case study is a reminder that recurrent severe vomiting requires admission for correction of fluid and electrolyte derangement, and a diagnostic work-up. It also highlights the need for a high level of clinical suspicion and good history taking in the diagnosis of cyclical vomiting syndrome. A definitive diagnosis is important to prepare the patient and family for future management as cyclical vomiting syndrome is a chronic episodic condition.
