Here we present the case of a 30-year-old woman with type I diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and treatment resistant persistent hyperemesis gravidarum in her 25th week of gestation who was successfully treated with the antidepressant mirtazapine (Remergil). Nausea and vomiting resolved within 5 days. After discharge from the hospital in 28 weeks of gestation and discontinuation of the medication on her own initiative a relapse occurred, once again with good response to mirtazapine. The drug was continued until birth. At 34 + 0 weeks a cesarean section was performed due to fetal growth restriction and deteriorating preeclampsia. During the second and fourth day postnatal age the child temporarily developed hyperarousal which could be explained by mirtazapine withdrawal.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is not uncommon. Its pathogenies is multifactorial but not fully understood. We present a case of a middle class, Caucasian pregnant woman aged 24 years with coexisting type 1 diabetes, who had severe hyperemesis gravidarum from the sixth week of pregnancy and was resistant to all standard and off-the-label treatments raising questions about the pathogenesis of hyperemesis gravidarum. She was managed with a multidisciplinary approach and was supported with total parenteral nutrition till she had an emergency caesarean section in the 29th week of pregnancy. Her vomiting stopped as soon as a small for gestational age but otherwise healthy male baby was delivered.
