Hiccup, which is a symptom seen during lateral medullary syndrome, appears due to sudden contraction of diaphragma and external (inspiratory) intercostal muscles and the closure of glottis. Here we present a case with lateral medullary infarction accompanied with chronic hiccup, the dramatical improvement with gabapentine and the probable related pathophysiologic mechanism.. ©2007, Firat University, Medical Faculty
