Abstract: The objectives of this review are to identify the clinical features that suggest a diagnosis of CVS and to review the literature on its management. Relevant studies were identified by a search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, for all these articles published from time of instance up to December 2017, in English language and discussing cyclic vomiting syndrome management and diagnostic approaches, containing human subjects only. CVS is an idiopathic functional vomiting disorder at first defined in kids that is increasingly recognized in grownups. Although documented pathophysiologic associations with migraine, mitochondrial conditions, and neuroendocrine abnormalities have been described in pediatric CVS, migraines, anxiety, and panic appear to be typical associations in adults that need further study. The natural history of CVS in children suggests that the majority of will outgrow this debilitating disorder with time, though some will transition to migraine headaches and even continue to suffer CVS as adults. Current therapy for CVS can be divided into supportive therapy (during episodes), prophylactic therapy (to avoid episodes), and abortive treatment (to prevent development from prodromal symptoms to the vomiting phase). Strategies for management of CVS during the interepisodic duration consist of avoidance of determined triggers, lifestyle modifications, and psychological interventions.
Keywords: cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), supportive therapy.
