Abstract
The article discusses the algorithm for diagnosing of centrally mediated abdominal pain syndrome (CAPS), formerly called functional abdominal pain syndrome, contained in the Rome Criteria of the IV revision (2016). Recommendations for the diagnosis of CAPS, mainly based on the compliance of the signs available in patients with the developed diagnostic criteria with a minimum of additional laboratory tests, are criticized, since such an approach is fraught with possible errors. The author considers the diagnosis of CAPS as a “diagnosis of exclusion”, which can be made only after a thorough examination of patients using laboratory and instrumental research methods (including ultrasound and endoscopic), confi rming the absence of organic diseases in patients.
