ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The prevalence of adolescent cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) continues to grow, as clinicians increasingly recognize the presenting features of cyclical nausea, emesis, abdominal pain and relief of symptoms with hot showers, in the setting of chronic cannabinoid use. RECENT FINDINGS:
Our understanding of the contributory mechanisms continues to grow, but high-quality evidence of effective treatment in adolescents remains lacking. Current best evidence in the treatment of acute paediatric CHS suggests intravenous rehydration and electrolyte correction, followed by 0.05âmg/kg haloperidol with or without a benzodiazepine. The only long-term treatment remains complete cessation of cannabinoid use.SUMMARY:
This article reviews our growing knowledge of adolescent CHS and provides practical guidance for diagnosis, treatment and understanding the underlying mechanisms of the condition.
