Postinfectious gastroparesis (PIGP) is a subgroup of idiopathic gastroparesis rarely reported in adolescents. This study describes 3 adolescent females with severe PIGP, who each underwent extensive workup prior to referral to a pediatric gastroenterologist. PIGP may be an underrecognized disorder in pediatrics, particularly in adolescents, and if untreated, can lead to significant morbidity.

Postviral gastroparesis has been described in children, but it has not yet been attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our case report describes a teenager with abdominal pain, early satiety, and vomiting who likely had an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 2 months before presentation. Through investigation of epidemiologic links, antibody testing, and clinical course, it is hypothesized that her significant reduction in gastric emptying was due to postviral gastroparesis secondary to SARS-CoV-2.

The cardinal symptoms are nausea, vomiting, gastric fullness, early satiety, or bloating, associated with slow gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Delayed gastric emptying is demonstrated by a gastric emptying scintigraphy or by a breath test.

Most common aetiologies include diabetes, postsurgical and postinfectious, but in many cases it is idiopathic. Clinical presentation and natural history vary by the aetiology.
