Persistent Post-endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Hiccups: An Unusual Presentation of Bile Reflux

Bile reflux is a pathological retrograde flow of bile into the stomach that may lead to gastric overdistension and gastritis. It generally manifests as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn. Hiccups have thus far not been described as part of its presentation. Here, we describe a case of ex...

It generally manifests as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn. Hiccups have thus far not been described as part of its presentation. Here, we describe a case of excessive post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography bile accumulation in the stomach that caused persistent hiccups requiring endoscopic suctioning.
