초록
저자들은 주기성 구토증으로 진단된 3명의 소아에서 6년 이상의 장기 추적관찰을 통하여 임상양상의 다양한 변화과정을 관찰하여 보고, 뇌파검사의 이상소견을 근거로 이형 편두통의 형태로 진행하여 가는 과정을 관찰하였다. 시간의 경과에 따라 구토 발병 주기, 기간의 변화와 함께 위배출능 저하, 두통의 발현, 뇌파의 이상 등 다양한 임상 양상의 변화를 보여주며, 2례에서는 증상의 소실이 관찰되었다. 특히, 뇌파 검사상 증상 발현시 발생하는 서파는 편두통의 발생 직전에 뇌혈류의 감소로 발생하는 양상과 매우 유사하며, 주기성 구토증과 편두통의 관련성을 시사하여 주는 소견으로, 진단 및 치료적 접근시 반드시 고려하여야 한다. 주기성 구통증은 이형 편두통으로의 이행 과정인가?
Cyclic vomiting syndrome(CVS) is a disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized by its clinical pattern of intermittent episodes of severe vomiting, similar in time of onset and duration, with no symptoms during the intervening period. By definition, CVS is an idiopathic disorder that requires exclusionary laboratory testing. Not only can it be mimicked by many specific disorders, eg, surgical, neurologic, endocrine, metabolic, renal, but within idiopathic CVS there may be specific subgroups that have different mechanisms. It has been reported that CVS usually begins in toddlers and resolves during adolescence. Migraine is also self-limiting episodic condition of children and the clinical features of migraine and CVS show considerable similarity. It is proposed that CVS is a condition related to migraine. This paper reports clinical courses of long term follow-up and reversible EEG changes in three patients whose history included CVS. Clinical situations of attack interval, duration and associated symptoms had changed variablely in each patients through long term follow-up period. Cyclic vomiting subsided in two cases. Abnormal delta activity was seen during episodes and resolved at follow-up, when the patient asymptomatic. The brain wave changes support the interpretation of CVS as a migraine variant.
