Intractable Hiccups:The Role of Cerebral MR in Cases Without Systemic Cause AJNR 16:2093-2100, Marsot-Dupuch,K.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Five of these 9 patients had definite MR abnormalities located in the temporal lobe(3 cases),cerebellopontine angle(1 case),or areas of high signal intensity compatible with demyelination(1 case).The relationship between hiccups and infratentorial abnormalities in 2 cases was doubtful (vascular loop and prominence posterior condylar canal).MR findings in 2 cases were considered normal.Brain MR is a useful investigation in patients with chronic hiccups when gastroesophageal lesions are either excluded or too mild to account for an intractable hiccup.
