Síndrome de hiperémesis cannabinoide

Abstract

We report the case of a 30-year-old female with a history of cannabis use from 16 years of age. The patient presented to the Gastroenterology Clinic due to cyclical epigastric pain associated with postprandial stomach heaviness, nausea and vomiting. She was admitted due to a worsening of her condition, which prevented her from leading a normal life. Ultrasound, endoscopy and laboratory tests performed during admission were normal. The pain subsided with hot water showers, with a frequency of 3-5 per day during admission. The patient had a favorable course and was discharged with a recommendation to discontinue cannabis use; subsequently, she had a good clinical outcome.
