Vomiting in children is a common complaint in any health care facility serving children. Usually, vomiting has an organic gastrointestinal or infectious origin, when examining such a patient, it is possible to establish the etiology of vomiting and prescribe etiotropic treatment for recovery. But in rare cases, vomiting can be caused by a rare dysfunction of organs and organ systems that cannot be detected during a comprehensive examination, and its results can vary up to life-threatening.
Clinical case. The article presents a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a child with chronic vomiting syndrome complicated by stage 3 malnutrition, severe protein-energy deficiency due to narcotic fetopathy, and withdrawal syndrome. The importance of interdisciplinary cooperation, the effect of surgical treatment in a patient with neurological pathology is shown. The effectiveness of the surgical intervention was confirmed by the immediate results of the early postoperative period and follow-up by observing the child for 2 years.
Conclusions. A positive result of treatment demonstrates the effectiveness of interdisciplinary cooperation and a pathogenetic approach to the treatment of a rare form of vomiting due to the impossibility of prescribing etiotropic treatment in this case.
