Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a chronic periodic disorder of childhood that can persist into adulthood. The causes of its occurrence include central nervous system disorders such as abdominal migraines, epilepsy, structural brain damage, mitochondrial diseases, autonomic disorders, and others. Gastrointestinal tract pathology can manifest as episodes of recurrent intense vomiting and nausea lasting from several hours to several days, with varying symptom-free intervals. Conclusion. Detailed study of cyclic vomiting syndrome can help reduce diagnostic search in patients with combined pathology requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Key words: cyclic vomiting syndrome.
