projectile-vomiting

Violent stomach ejection

Projectile vomiting is vomiting with unusual force, ejecting stomach contents a considerable distance rather than simply spilling from the mouth.

The term often describes infant vomiting that shoots across a room, which can indicate pyloric stenosis.

More loosely, any dramatic or violent episode of vomiting: I was projectile-vomiting all night after that seafood.
