ABSTRACT
Hiccup is a spasmodic, involuntary contraction of the inspiratory
muscles, associated with delayed, abrupt glottic closure, causing
a peculiar sound. There are numerous causes of hiccup, including
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Hiccup is reported to
represent an atypical manifestation of the gastroesophageal reflux
disease (GERD).
We report two cases with hiccup due to GERD. Endoscopic examinations
showed esophagitis, Los Angeles class grade A and B, in
two cases whose hiccups were improved by proton pump inhibitors
(PPI).
Hiccup is atypical symptom of GERD. If hiccup is due to GERD,
then it may be improved with ppi therapy.
