    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2007 Dec; 21(6):621-3. PubMed ID: 18071994.
    Abstract:
    We describe a unique case of prolonged nausea and vomiting following posterior fossa craniotomy for removal of a meningioma. No apparent neurological or gastrointestinal causes were discovered except for a delayed gastric emptying time. The symptoms gradually resolved along with normalization of the gastric emptying time. Possible pathogenic mechanisms are discussed.
