          Abstract

          RESUMEN La analgesia epidural mediante inyección de corticoides es un procedimiento frecuente en las unidades de dolor. A pesar de ser una técnica con bajo índice de complicaciones, se ha descrito la aparición de hipo persistente tras la intervención. Se presenta como caso clínico el primer episodio publicado en España y sexto en el mundo de hipo persistente por betametasona administrada mediante inyección epidural, acompañado de una recapitulación sobre la definición de esta entidad y su etiología, fisiopatología, manejo e incidencia en pacientes a tratamiento con corticoides orales y epidurales. Debido a la duración, impacto en la calidad de vida y necesidad de tratamiento sintomático, se considera el caso más grave publicado hasta la fecha.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT Epidural analgesia by corticosteroid injection is a common procedure in pain units. Despite being a technique with a low rate of complications, the appearance of persistent hiccups after the intervention has been described. We present as a clinical case the first episode published in Spain and the sixth in the world of persistent hiccups due to betamethasone administered by epidural injection, accompanied by a summary of the definition of this entity and its aetiology, pathophysiology, management and incidence in patients treated with oral and epidural corticosteroids. Due to its duration, impact on quality of life and need for symptomatic treatment, it is considered the most severe case published to date.

          Systemic review: the pathogenesis and pharmacological treatment of hiccups.

          Hiccups are familiar to everyone, but remain poorly understood. Acute hiccups can often be terminated by physical manoeuvres. In contrast, persistent and intractable hiccups that continue for days or months are rare, but can be distressing and difficult to treat.

            Hiccups (singultus): review and approach to management.

            Hiccups are a common, and fortunately usually transient, benign malady. Occasionally, however, hiccups fail to resolve spontaneously, resulting in patient fatigue and incapacitation and the need for the affected individual to seek medical care for resolution of the problem. The approach to the management of these patients consists of the identification and treatment of serious underlying causes of the episode as well as therapeutic interventions to achieve hiccup resolution.
