The relationship between cyclic vomiting syndrome and abdominal migraine.
Abdominal migraine and cyclic vomiting are both self-limiting episodic conditions of children, with periods of complete normality between episodes. The clinical features of both syndromes show considerable similarity, and resemble those found in association with migraine headaches. It is proposed that cyclic vomiting is a condition related to migraine.
