| Popis: |
A 74-year-old man presented with persistent hiccups and headache persisting for 2 days. An anticoagulant was administered for his coronary heart disease. Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) located in the right occipital lobe, without any abnormal findings around the brainstem. The patient underwent endoscopic hematoma evacuation via a burr hole, resulting in immediate resolution of hiccups. Following an uneventful postoperative course, the patient experienced recurrent hiccups on the 47th day postsurgery. A subsequent CT scan taken on the 50th day revealed a compressive chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) situated in the right frontoparietal convexity. The patient underwent burr-hole irrigation, leading to prompt cessation of the hiccups. Persistent hiccup should be recognized as potential manifestation of supratentorial lesions, including ICH or CSDH. Surgical evacuation of such lesions can rapidly alleviate hiccups associated with these pathologies. |
