Abstract
A presentation of vomiting becomes ‘chronic’ after 3–4 weeks and should be considered worthy of investigation to rule out serious underlying disease and for welfare reasons. This chapter provides information on the differential diagnosis of chronic vomiting, and contains an algorithm and information on diagnostic tests to guide investigation and management.
