The aim of the present review is to examine the most important aspects of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, subtypes, diagnostic criteria, and current management of CVS. Even though the exact etiology remains unknown, genetic factors (polymorphisms), nervous system alterations and autonomic dysregulation, and environmental factors (use and abuse of cannabinoids) are postulated as possible triggers. CVS has significant diagnostic challenges, given that there is no specific test for confirming its presence. Thorough evaluation of symptoms and the ruling out of other possible causes of recurrent vomiting are required. Management of CVS typically involves a multidisciplinary approach. Pharmacologic options are explored, such as antiemetics and preventive medications, as well as behavioral and psychologic support therapies. Treatment personalization is essential, adapting it to the individual needs of each patient. Despite advances in the understanding of CVS, it remains a significant clinical challenge. This disorder impacts the quality of life of those affected and their families, underscoring the ongoing need for research and the development of more effective treatment strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74705,"journal":{"name":"Revista de gastroenterologia de Mexico (English)","volume":"89 3","pages":"Pages 389-403"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2255534X24000616/pdfft?md5=bbb72d6aa141ff7bff490e20bc845ef7&pid=1-s2.0-S2255534X24000616-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141735930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
