Intractable hiccups as a presenting symptom of Chiari I malformation.
Acta Neurochirurgica 2008 November
INTRODUCTION: Hiccups as the only presenting symptom in neurosurgical practice is uncommon.
CASE HISTORY: We report a case of a 22-year-old man who was evaluated for a 9-month history of intractable hiccups. He was diagnosed with a case of Chiari malformation type I.
DISCUSSION: Surgical decompression improved the symptoms of the patient. The cause and pathogenesis of hiccups are discussed.
CONCLUSION: Chiari malformation should be considered in patients with intractable hiccups, who are otherwise asymptomatic for any neurological problems.
