Ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser cervical discectomy for intractable hiccups: A rare case report
BACKGROUND: Intractable hiccups serve no physiological purpose, but significantly reduce the quality of life. There are a variety of medications suggested for the treatment of persistent or intractable hiccups. However, it remains a great challenge for the management of intractable hiccups. In this...

description | BACKGROUND: Intractable hiccups serve no physiological purpose, but significantly reduce the quality of life. There are a variety of medications suggested for the treatment of persistent or intractable hiccups. However, it remains a great challenge for the management of intractable hiccups. In this case report, we describe the technique of percutaneous laser cervical discectomy under the sonographic guidance in treatment of intractable hiccups. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 41-year-old male, who suffered intractable hiccups over 11 years, came to our pain department in December 2020. Neither oral medication nor phrenic nerve block achieved satisfactory relief of hiccups. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan revealed cervical disc herniation of C4/5 and C5/6. Following selective cervical nerve root block, complete but short-term control of symptoms lasted less than 48 hours. Percutaneous laser cervical discectomy was then performed under ultrasound guidance and achieved complete and enduring symptomatic relief up to 14-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Cervical degenerative changes may be considered as potential cause for intractable hiccups, and ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser cervical discectomy may be used to treat hiccups caused by cervical discogenic etiology. |
