    Background:

    • Rumination, characterized by food regurgitation, is infrequently documented in latency-age children.
    • This case highlights a rare presentation of rumination in a pediatric patient.

    Observation:

    • A 7-year-old boy presented with a constellation of symptoms including rumination, gagging, bruxism (teeth grinding), and enuresis (bedwetting).
    • Significant unresolved parental conflicts were noted during the child's oppositional developmental stage.

    Findings:

    • Short-term psychotherapy targeting parental power struggles led to rapid symptom remission.
    • The child experienced a complete resolution of rumination and associated symptoms.
