A STUDY OF 44 CHILDREN WITH THE SYNDROME OF RECURRENT (CYCLIC) VOMITING

C. Sherman Hoyt M.D.1 and Gunnar B. Stickler M.D.1

1 Section of Pediatrics, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota

The case records of 44 patients less than 15 years of age seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1945 to May, 1957, who had the syndrome of recurrent vomiting, were studied. A questionnaire sent at the time of this study—from 2 to 14 years after the original examination—to determine if possible the prognosis and cause, elicited a response from 38 patients or their parents. Of the 38 patients, 30 had no cyclic vomiting at the time of follow-up. Of the remaining 8 patients, there was less than a 5-year follow-up in 7.

The cause of the syndrome of recurrent vomiting, while possibly psychogenic, is not known definitely. It usually terminates before puberty. There may be some relationship to migraine which also may be a syndrome and not a definite disease entity. Electroencephalographic study of 15 of the patients did not suggest any relationship to a convulsive disorder.
