Abstract
Vomiting is a common pediatric complaint seen frequently in both pediatric and general emergency departments. Obstructive causes of vomiting are rare outside of the newborn period compared to more benign causes such as viral gastroenteritis. Timely recognition of these rarer causes of obstruction is essential for optimal care. This case highlights a severe presentation of chronic isolated vomiting caused by obstruction. It serves as a strong reminder to emergency care providers that obstruction can occur outside of the newborn period and, if unrecognized, can result in significant morbidity.
