Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder affecting both children and adults and is characterized by recurrent, episodes of severe nausea and vomiting.
An episode can last for a few hours to several days and then is followed by a period of time during which affected individuals are free of all symptoms. The associated nausea and vomiting can be severe enough to incapacitate the individual who may be unable to walk or talk and/or be bedridden.
Additional symptoms often present during an episode may include:
- dizziness
- abdominal pain
- headaches
- paleness of the skin (pallor)
- lack of energy (listlessness)
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is also known as abdominal Migraine.
