Abstract
A case of a 6-month-old infant with food refusal and frequent vomiting is presented in a step
by step clinical approach. The criteria for the diagnosis of non-organic food refusal as well
as the rules for the therapeutic strategy are discussed, stressing that this condition deserves
a prompt recognition.
