Functional dyspepsia is characterized by a constellation of upper gastrointestinal symptoms consisting of epigastric pain and burning, early satiety, and postprandial fullness-all in the absence of any explanatory organic gastrointestinal pathology. Treatment options for the condition are limited, in part, because of the incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder. A subset of patients diagnosed with functional dyspepsia are subsequently found to have rapid gastric emptying on gastric emptying scintigraphy. The significance of this finding is unknown but provides a potential therapeutic target. This case report describes functional dyspepsia with rapid gastric emptying responsive to treatment with buspirone.
