Abstract
A patient with a 4-month history of unexplained nausea and vomiting is reported. The only abnormality found initially was severe gastroparesis found by gastric emptying scan. Subsequently, a posterior fossa tumor was found. The pathogenesis of this unusual presentation and the role of the gastric emptying scan is discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
