Abstract

Persistent hiccup is a rare condition, occasionally caused by central nervous system abnormalities. We report a 55 year old patient with daily hiccup events. A EEG recording showed sharp and slow activity over bilateral occipital region with generalization. This is the description of an epileptic patient with hiccups as the main seizure manifestation. The electrophysiological findings suggest a complex form of epilepsy and polysynaptic impulse transmission.

Keywords: hiccup, seizure, impulse, occipital, EEG.
