Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by stereotypical, self-limited episodes of intense nausea and vomiting that last hours to days and are separated by intervals during which patients are entirely free of symptoms. Although it appears to be a functional disorder, organic complications may occur depending on the severity, frequency, and duration of attacks; fluid and electrolyte deficits, Mallory-Weiss tears, and inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone may occur during episodes. Chronic peptic esophagitis and corrosion of dental enamel may occur after months or years of recurrences. The severe incapacity of vomiting episodes often disrupts family life, making it impossible to plan vacations or find child care. Many young adults live with the dread and uncertainty of the next episode and are prevented from holding jobs or going to school. The prevalence of CVS is uncertain. Two population studies suggest that it may equal or exceed those of idiopathic epilepsy or type 1 diabetes. There seems to be a higher than expected rate of comorbidities in patients with CVS, including congenital anomalies and developmental disorders.
