Abstract
ABSTRACTFunctional dyspepsia is characterized by a constellation of upper gastrointestinal symptoms consisting of epigastric pain and burning, early satiety, and postprandial fullness—all in the absence of any explanatory organic gastrointestinal pathology. Treatment options for the condition are limited, in part, because of the incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder. A subset of patients diagnosed with functional dyspepsia are subsequently found to have rapid gastric emptying on gastric emptying scintigraphy. The significance of this finding is unknown but provides a potential therapeutic target. This case report describes functional dyspepsia with rapid gastric emptying responsive to treatment with buspirone.
