Psychogenic Vomiting in a Child during Visual Evoked Potential Recording: A case Report

Psychogenic vomiting is a condition characterized by recurrent vomiting without any known organic cause resulting from psychological stress. This report presents the case of an eleven-year-old male child with severe unexplained visual loss who was referred for visual evoked potential (VEP) recording. However, during the procedure, the child experienced a sudden episode of psychogenic vomiting after the electrodes were fixed and before the experiment began. This report aims to explore the possible reasons behind this episode and propose potential solutions to prevent similar conditions from occurring.
