Popis: The novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) has caused a great pandemic since the end of 2019. A variety of symptoms has been identified for this disease. In this case series we report 5 patients in different age groups who presented with cyclic vomiting as a late complication of COVID-19. All patients have gone through complete diagnostic process for cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) including endoscopy. However, they all showed normal findings. The diagnosis of cyclic vomiting syndrome was made based on the symptoms and normal endoscopic and laboratory findings. We treated all of the patients applying the guideline we previously published regarding treatment of CVS patients. According to the results of the present study, CVS might be a late complication of COVID-19 infection. So, it is necessary for physicians to consider it as a differential diagnosis in patients with recent COVID-19 infection and to be aware of its management in each phase.
Novi koronavirus izazvao je pandemiju bolesti COVID-19 od konca 2019. Identificiran je niz simptoma povezanih s ovom bolesti. U seriji slučajeva izvještavamo o pet bolesnika različitih dobnih skupina u kojih se cikličko povraćanje pojavljuje kao kasna komplikacija COVID-19. Svi pacijenti su obavili kompletan dijagnostički postupak za sindrom cikličkog povraćanja (SCP) uključujući endoskopiju. Međutim, nalazi su bili u granicama normale. Dijagnoza sindroma cikličkog povraćanja postavljena je na temelju simptoma i normalnih endoskopskih i laboratorijskih nalaza. Svi su bolesnici liječeni prema prethodno publiciranim smjernicama za liječenje bolesnika sa SCP-om. Rezultati ovog istraživanja ukazuju da bi se SCP mogao smatrati kasnom komplikacijom infekcije COVID-19. Stoga je potrebno razmotriti ovaj sindrom kao diferencijalnu dijagnozu kod bolesnika koji su nedavno preboljeli infekciju COVID-19 i primijeniti odgovarajuće liječenje u svakoj njegovoj fazi.
