MORAL-CEBRIAN, Ignacio; SANTOS-RODRIGUEZ, Andrés y MUGUERZA-HUGUET, José. Rare cause of chronic hiccups. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.4, pp.542-544. Epub 12-Jul-2021. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.428.
Chronic hiccups is a rare symptom that can lead to significant disability and often reveals an underlying disease. The following is the case of a 68-year-old man who was admitted due to hiccups that had lasted more than 3 months associated with epigastric pain, postprandial vomiting, and weight loss. He had undergone surgery twice due to gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia. During the first procedure, a fundoplication was performed, and then, he underwent a reoperation consisting of diaphragmatic pillars closure and laparoscopic Nissen. The symptoms were caused by a hiatal obstruction due to the kinking of the previous fundoplication and were resolved by repositioning the hiatus to anatomical parameters and dismantling the previous Nissen.
