Vomiting directly attributable to SLE occurs in approximately 8% of patients, and its causes are sometimes obscure when common conditions are ruled out. Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a common functional disorder which usually starts from childhood. We report the first two cases of patients affected by systemic autoimmune conditions associated to cyclic vomiting syndrome. Identification and proper treatment may guide to diagnosis and alleviate neglected manifestations of autoimmune patients.

Key Words: cyclic vomiting syndrome • gastrointestinal lupus • lupoid hepatitis • nausea and vomiting • ondansetron • systemic lupus erythematosus
