Baclofen in a Child with Rumination-Regurgitation Disorder

Rumination-Regurgitation disorder (RRD) in children refers to repeated regurgitation with rechewing or expulsion of food soon after meal ingestion without any preceding retching or nausea. Management focused on diaphragmatic breathing and other modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, is challenging for toddlers. Here we report a 2-year-old boy with RRD who responded favorably to baclofen, a Gamma Amino Butyric Acid B receptor (GABA B ) agonist.
