Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is characterized by recurrent
episodes of nausea and vomiting. Age at onset of symptoms ranges
between 4–6 years and there is a female predominance. CVS attacks
are generally associated with psychosocial or physical triggers. In
last years a shared pathophysiology between migraine and CVS has
suggested. Children with CVS and their mothers have elevated rates
of anxiety disorders. In this report, we presented a 5-year-old girl
who referred to our out-patient clinic because of recurrent vomiting
episodes. Because of her anxiety symptoms and vomiting attacks,
escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, was initiated
and she had significant improvement during treatment.
