Author contributions: Liu B wrote original manuscript; Sun H performed imaging examination; Liu Y, Yuan ML and Zhu HR revised the manuscript; Zhang W designed the study; all authors have read and approved the final manuscript. Liu B and Sun H contributed equally to this work as co-first authors. The designation of co-first authorship for Liu B and Sun H is based on the following reasons. Firstly, the research was conducted as a collaborative effort, with the distribution of responsibilities and efforts evenly shared between the two, accurately reflecting their equal contribution to the study and the resultant paper. Secondly, the study involved multidisciplinary cooperation, particularly in the fields of psychiatry and radiology. Liu B served as the psychiatrist responsible for addressing clinical data, while Sun H acted as the radiologist responsible for analyzing image data. Therefore, we believe that designating Liu B and Sun H as co-first authors appropriately represents our team's collaborative spirit, equal contributions, and the interdisciplinary nature of our work.

Core Tip
Core Tip: Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder characterized by intense, recurrent vomiting episodes. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome (SMAS) occurs when the third part of the duodenum is compressed by the SMA, often leading to vomiting similar to CVS. Weight loss resulting from CVS can contribute to the development of SMAS, and conversely, SMAS can mimic CVS symptoms. To distinguish between these conditions, detailed clinical examination is essential, particularly with abdominal imaging. Additionally, long-term closely follow-up is necessary to differentiate between the two. Comprehensive interventions involving psychosomatic treatment are necessary to address these conditions.
