Abstract
Hiccups are most often benign and short-lived, but they can also be persistent (> 48h) or even refractory (> 1 month). In these cases, it impairs qualitý of life and can have serious health consequences. We report the case of a patient who consulted for chronic hiccups with absences and in whom the neurological origin was confirmed on brain MRI.
