ABSTRACT
In infants and young children, vomiting is a common symptom that may indicate a digestive or other health problem. This case report presents a rare incidence in which an intracranial tumour was the root cause of an infant's vomiting and failure to thrive. An intracranial tumour was found during the evaluation, which also evaluated acute gastroenteritis, reflux illness, and milk protein intolerance. Considering unusual etiologies, such as metabolic, endocrine, and neurological disorders, is crucial for determining the cause of symptoms like chronic vomiting and stunted development in infants, as shown by this instance. The best possible results for patients depend on their ability to benefit from early diagnosis and treatment.
Keywords: Unusual cause of vomiting, Infant, Childhood, Intracranial tumour, and Failure to thrive.
