Cyclic vomiting in adulthood
A case report is presented of cyclic vomiting in adulthood when this clinical entity is rare and can be mistaken for a disease of the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by intervals of profound, disabling difficulties followed by periods of time with no or only mild problems, with exclusion of processes of the gastrointestinal tract and structural processes of the central nervous system. Manifestations of cyclic vomiting are reported in an adult individual who had been followed for gastrointestinal complaints, with a possibility of psychogenic changes, for six years. Antimigraine treatment was partially successful.
Keywords: attacks of vomiting, asymptomatic episodes, migraine, autonomic dysfunctions.
